ORDER  OF  WORSHIP. 


While  the  people  are  assembling,  a  voluntary  may  be  played  upou  the 

organ. 

INTRODUCTION. 

The  congregation  being  seated,  the  Minister,  opening  the  Word,  may  read 
one  or  more  of  the  following  passages. 

JEHOVAH  is  in  his  holy  Temple ;  let  all  the  earth 
keep  silence  before  him.  —  Hab.  ii.  20. 

ENTER  into  his  gates  with  thanksgiving,  into  his 
courts  with  praise  :  be  thankful  unto  him,  and  bless 
his  name.  —  Ps.  c.  4. 

ONE  thing  have  I  desired  of  JEHOVAH,  that  will  1 
seek  after;  that  I  may  dwell  in  the  house  of  JEHOVAH 
all  the  days  of  my  life,  to  behold  the  beauty  of  JE- 
HOVAH, and  to  inquire  in  his  temple.  —  Ps.  xxvii.  4. 

GIVE  unto  JEHOVAH,  O  ye  kindreds  of  the  people, 
give  unto  JEHOVAH  glory  and  strength:  give  unto  JE- 
HOVAH the  glory  due  unto  his  name:  bring  an  offering, 
and  come  into  his  courts.  O  worship  JEHOVAH  in  the 
beauty  of  holiness :  fear  before  him,  all  the  earth.  — 
Ps.  xcvi.  7,  8,  9. 

FOR  from  the  rising  of  the  sun  even  unto  the  going 
down  of  the  same,  my  name  shall  be  great  among  the 
Gentiles ;  and  in  every  place  incense  shall  be  o tiered 
unto  my  name,  and  a  pure  offering:  for  my  name

shall  be  great  among  the  heathen,  saith  JEHOVAH  of 
hosts.  —  Mai.  i.  11. 

EXALT  ye  JEHOVAH  our  GOD,  and  worship  at  his 
footstool ;  for  he  is  holy.  —  Ps.  xcix.  5. 

HOLINESS  becometh  thine  house,  O  JEHOVAH,  for 
ever.  —  Ps.  xciii.  5. 

Here  may  be  a  short  pause  for  silent  prayer;  after  which,  the  Minister  may 
say  one  of  the  following  Collects:  or,  instead  of  the  Prayer  and  Collect,  or 
after  them,  a  Selection  may  be  sung. 

COLLECTS. 

GIVE  ear  to  my  words,  O  JEHOVAH  ;  consider  my 
meditation.  Hearken  unto  the  voice  of  my  cry,  my 
King,  and  my  GOD;  for  unto  thee  will  I  pray.  My 
voice  shalt  thou  hear  in  the  morning,  O  JEHOVAH;  in 
the  morning  will  I  address  thee,  and  will  look  up :  for 
thou  art  not  a  GOD  that  hath  pleasure  in  wickedness; 
neither  shall  evil  dwell  with  thee.  The  profane  shall 
not  stand  in  thy  sight;  thou  hatest  all  workers  of  ini- 
quity. Thou  shalt  destroy  them  that  speak  false. 
hood:  JEHOVAH  will  abhor  the  man  of  blood  and  deceit. 
But  as  for  me,  I  will  come  into  thy  house  in  the  mul- 
titude of  thy  mercy  :  in  thy  fear  will  I  worship  toward 
thy  holy  temple.  Lead  me,  O  JEHOVAH,  in  thy  right- 
eousness, because  of  mine  enemies;  make  thy  way 
straight  before  my  face.  —  Ps.  v.  1-8. 

HEAR  my  cry,  O  GOD;  attend  unto  my  prayer. 
From  the  end  of  the  earth  will  I  cry  unto  thee,  when 
my  heart  is  overwhelmed:  lead  me  to  the  rock  that  is 
higher  than  I.  For  thou  hast  been  a  shelter  for  me, 
a  strong  tower  from  the  enemy.  I  will  abide  in  thy 
tabernacle  for  ever :  I  will  trust  in  the  covert  of  thy 
wings.  For  thou,  O  God,  hast  heard  rny  vows  :  thou 
hast  given  me  the  heritage  of  those  that  fear  thy  name. 
—  Ps.  Ixi.  1-5. 

O  GOD,  Ihou  art  my  GOD;  early  will  I  seek  thee 
My  soul  thirsteth  for  thee,  my  flesh  longeth  for  tbeo, 


ORDER   OF    WORSHIP.  0 

in  3  dry  and  thirsty  land,  where  no  water  is ;  to  see 
thy  power  and  thy  glory,  so  as  I  have  seen  thee  in  the 
sanctuary.  Because  thy  loving  kindness  is  better  than 
life,  my  lips  shall  praise  thee.  Thus  will  I  bless  thee 
while  I  live:  I  will  lift  up  my  hands  in  thy  name. — 
Ps.lxiii.  1-4. 

GIVE  ear,  O  JEHOVAH, to  my  prayer;  and  attend  to 
the  voice  of  my  supplications.  In  the  day  of  my 
trouble  I  will  call  upon  thee :  for  thou  \vilt  answer  me. 
Among  the  gods  there  is  none  like  unto  thee,  O  LORD  ; 
neither  are  there  any  works  like  unto  thy  works.  All 
nations  whom  thou  hast  made  shall  come  and  wor- 
ship before  thee,  O  LORD  ;  and  shall  glorify  thy  name. 
For  thou  art  great,  and  doest  wondrous  things:  thou 
art  GOD  alone.  —  Ps.  Ixxxvi.  6  —  10. 

O  JEHOVAH,  I  cry  unto  thee;  make  haste  unto  me: 
give  ear  unto  my  voice,  when  I  cry  unto  thee.  Let  my 
prayer  be  set  forth  before  thee  as  incense ;  and  the  lift- 
ing up  of  mv  hands  as  the  evening  sacrifice. —  Ps. 
cxli.  1,  2. 

Here  the  Minister  may  read  two  of  the  following  passages,  as  collated,  show- 
ing that  the  Loitu  in  His  DIVINE  HUMANITY  is 

THE   TRUE   OBJECT  OF   WORSHIP. 

HEAR,  O  Israel,  JEHOVAH  our  God  is  one  JEHOVAH. 
Deut  vi.  4. 

AND  he  was  clothed  with  a  vesture  dipped  in  blood  : 
and  his  name  is  called  THE  WORD  OF  GOD.  And  he 
hath  on  his  vesture  and  on  his  thigh  a  name  written, 
KING  OF  KINGS.  AND  LORD  OF  LORDS.— 
Rev.  xix.  13,  16. 

FOR  unto  us  a  CHILD  is  born,  unto  us  a  SON  is 
given  :  and  the  government  shall  be  upon  his  shoul- 
der: and  his  name  shall  be  called  Wonderful,  Coun- 
sellor, The  mighty  GOD,  The  EVERLASTING  FATHER, 
The  Prince  of  Peace. —  Is.  ix.  6. 

AND  she  shall  bring  forth  a  SON,  and  thou  shalt  cull

his  name  JESUS :  for  he  shall  save  his  people  from 
their  sins.  Behold,  a  virgin  shall  be  with  child,  and 
shall  bring  forth  a  SON,  and  they  shall  call  his  name 
EMMANUEL,  which  being  interpreted  is,  GOD- WITH  us. 
—  Mat  i.  21,  23. 

THUS  saith  JEHOVAH  thy  Redeemer,  and  he  that 
formed  thee  from  the  womb,  I  am  JEHOVAH  that 
rnaketh  all  things ;  that  stretcheth  forth  the  heavens 
alone;  that  spreadeth  abroad  the  earth  by  myself. — 
Is.  xliv.  24. 

IN  the  beginning  was  the  WORD,  and  the  WORD 
was  with  GOD,  and  the  WORD  was  GOD.  The  same 
was  in  the  beginning  with  GOD.  All  things  were 
made  by  him  ;  and  without  him  was  not  any  thing 
made  that  was  made.  And  the  WORD  was  made 
FLESH,  and  dwelt  among  us. — John  i.  1,  2,  3,  14. 

FOR  thus  saith  JEHOVAH  that  created  the  heavens; 
GOD  himself  that  formed  the  earth  and  made  it ;  he 
hath  established  it,  he  created  it.  not  in  vain  ;  he  form- 
ed it  to  be  inhabited  :  I  am  JEHOVAH  ;  and  there  is 
none  else;  there  is  no  GOD  else  besides  ME;  a  just 
GOD  and  a  SAVIOR;  there  is  none  besides  ME.  Look 
unto  ME,  and  be  ye  saved,  all  the  ends  of  the  earth  ; 
for  I  am  GOD,  and  there  is  none  else. —  Is.  xlv.  18,  21, 
22. 

COME  unto  ME,  all  ye  that  labor  and  are  heavy  laden, 
and  I  will  give  you  rest.  Take  MY  yoke  upon  you, 
and  learn  of  ME  ;  for  I  am  meek  and  lowly  in  heart : 
and  ye  shall  find  rest  unto  your  souls.  —  Mat.  xi.  28, 
29.  ' 

THUS  saith  JEHOVAH,  the  King  of  Israel,  and  his 
Redeemer,  JEHOVAH  OF  HOSTS;  I  am  the  FIRST,  and  I 
am  the  LAST  ;  and  beside  me  there  is  no  GOD.  —  Is. 
xliv.  6. 

I  AM  ALPHA  and  OMEGA,  the  BEGINNING  and  the 
ENDING,  saith  the  LORD;  who  is,  and  who  was,  and 
who  is  to  come,  the  ALMIGHTY.  —  Rev.  i.  8. 


ORDER   OF   WORSHIP.  7 

BEHOLD,  the  LORD  JEHOVAH  will  come  with  strength 
and  his  arm  shall  rule  for  him :  behold,  his  reward  ig 
with  him,  and  his  work  before  him.  He  shall  feed 
his  flock  like  a  SHEPHERD  :  he  shall  gather  the  lambs 
with  his  arm,  and  carry  them  in  his  bosom ;  and  shall 
gently  lead  those  that  are  with  young. —  Is.  xl.  10, 11. 

I  AM  the  good  SHEPHERD,  and  know  my  sheep,  and 
am  known  of  mine.  My  sheep  hear  my  voice,  and  I 
know  them,  and  they  follow  me:  and  I  give  unto 
them  eternal  life ;  and  they  shall  never  perish,  neither 
shall  any  one  pluck  them  out  of  my  hand.  My  FA- 
THER, who  gave  them  me,  is  greater  than  all;  and  no 
one  is  able  to  pluck  them  out  of  my  FATHER'S  hand. 
I  and  the  FATHER  are  ONE.  —  John  x.  14,  27-30. 


DOUBTLESS  Thou  art  our  FATHER,  though  Abraham 
be  ignorant  of  us,  and  Israel  acknowledge  us  not : 
Thou,  O  JEHOVAH,  art  our  FATHER,  our  Redeemer;  thy 
name  is  from  everlasting. —  Is.  Ixiii.  16. 

JESUS  saith  unto  him,  Have  I  been  so  long  time 
with  you,  and  yet  hast  thou  not  known  ME,  Philip? 
he  that  hath  seen  ME,  hath  seen  the  F .AT HER.  I  am  in 
the  FATHER,  and  the  FATHER  in  ME.  —  John  xiv.  9, 10. 

INTRODUCTION   TO   PRAYER. 

The  Minister  may  then  read  one  or  more  of  the  following  passages  as  in 
troductory  to  prayer;  or  one  of  the  Invitations  to  Worship  on  pages 
41, 42,  and  43. 

AND  after  six  days,  JESUS  taketh  Peter,  James,  and 
John  his  brother,  and  bringeth  them  up  into  a  high 
mountain  apart,  and  was  transfigured  before  them ; 
and  his  face  did  shine  as  the  sun,  and  his  raiment  was 
white  as  the  lighr.  And,  behold,  there  appeared  unto 
them  Moses  and  Elias  talking  with  him.  Then  an- 
swered Peter,  and  said  unto  JF.SUS,  LORD,  it  is  good 
for  us  to  be  here :  if  thou  wilt,  let  us  make  here  three 
tabernacles  ;  one  for  Thee,  and  one  for  Moses,  and  one 
for  Elias.  While  he  yet  spake,  behold,  a  bright  cloud 
overshadowed  them  :  and  behold  a  voice  out  of  the 


8  ORDER    OF    WORSHIP. 

cloud,  which  said,  This  is  my  beloved  Sox,  in  whom 
I  am  well  pleased  :  hear  ye  Him.  —  Mat.  xvii.  1  -5. 

AGAIN  1  say  unto  you,  that  if  t\vo  of  you  shall  agree 
on  earth,  as  touching  any  thing  that  they  shall  ask,  it 
shall  be  done  for  them  of  my  FATHER  who  is  in  hea- 
ven :  for  where  two  or  three  are  gathered  together  in 
my  name,  there  am  I  in  the  midst  of  them.  Then 
came  Peter  to  him,  and  said,  LORD,  how  oft  shall  my 
brother  sin  against  me,  and  I  forgive  him  ?  till  seven 
times?  JESUS  saith  unto  him,  I  say  not  unto  thec, 
until  seven  times;  but  until  seventy  times  seven. — 
Mat.  xviii  19-22. 

AND  Jtsus  answering,  saith  unto  them,  Have  faith  of 
GOD.  For  verily  I  say  unto  you,  that  whosoever  shall 
say  unto  this  mountain,  Be  thou  removed,  and  be 
thou  cast  into  the  sea  ;  and  shall  not  doubt  in  his  heart, 
but  shall  believe,  that  those  things  which  he  saith  shall 
come  to  pass;  he  shall  have  whatsoever  he  saith. 
Therefore  I  say  unto  you,  What  things  soever  ye  de- 
sire when  ye  pray,  believe  that  ye  receive  them,  and 
ye  shall  have  them.  And  when  ye  stand  praying,  for- 
give, if  ye  have  aught  against  any  :  that  your  FATHER 
also  who  is  in  heaven  may  forgive  you  your  trespasses. 
But  if  ye  do  not  forgive,  neither  will  your  FATHER 
who  is  in  heaven  forgive  your  trespasses.  —  Mark  xi, 
22-26. 

BUT  love  ye  your  enemies,  and  do  good,  and  lend, 
hoping  for  nothing  again  ;  and  your  reward  shall  be 
great,  and  ye  shall  be  the  children  of  the  HIGHEST  : 
foi  he  is  kind  unto  the  unthankful  and  the  evil.  Be 
ye  therefore  merciful,  as  your  FATHER  also  is  merciful. 
—  Luke  vi.  35,  36. 

VND  I  say  unto  you,  Ask,  and  it  shall  be  given  you; 
seek,  and  ye  shall  find ;  knock,  and  it  shall  be  opened 
unto  you.  For  every  one  that  asketh  receiveth  ;  and 
he  that  seeketh  findeth  ;  and  to  him  that  knocketh  it 
shall  be  opened.  If  a  son  shall  ask  bread  of  any  of 
you  that  is  a  father,  will  he  give  him  a  stone  ?  or  if  a 


ORDER    OF    WORSHIP.  9 

fish,  will  he,  for  a  fish,  give  him  a  serpent  ?  or  if  he 
shall  ask  an  egg,  will  he  offer  him  a  scorpion  ?  If  ye 
then,  being  evil,  know  how  to  give  good  gifts  unto 
your  children ;  how  much  more  shall  the  Heavenly 
FATHER  give  the  Holy  Spirit  to  them  that  ask  him. 
—  Luke  xi.  9-13. 

Two  men  went  up  into  the  temple  to  pray ;  the  one 
a  Pharisee,  and  the  other  a  publican.  The  Pharisee 
stood  and  prayed  thus  with  himself:  GOD,  I  thank 
thee  that  I  am  not  as  other  men,  extortioners,  unjust, 
adulterers,  or  even  as  this  publican.  I  fast  twice  in 
the  week  ;  I  give  tithes  of  all  that  I  possess.  And  the 
publican,  standing  afar  oft',  would  not  lift  so  rrmch  as 
the  eyes  unto  heaven  ;  but  smote  upon  his  breast, 
saying,  GOD  be  merciful  to  me  a  sinner.  I  tell  you, 
this  man  went  down  to  his  house  justified  rather  than 
the  other:  for  every  one  that  exalteth  himself,  shall  be 
abased;  and  he  that  humbleth  himself,  shall  be  ex- 
alted.—  Luke  xviii.  10-14. 

BUT  the  hour  cometh,  and  now  is,  when  the  true 
worshipers  shall  worship  the  FATHER  in  spirit  and  in 
truth :  for  the  FATHER  seeketh  such  to  worship  him. 
GOD  is  a  Spirit;  and  they  that  worship  him,  must 
worship  in  spirit  and  in  truth.  — John  iv.  23,  24. 

AND  JESUS  said  unto  them,  I  am  the  bread  of  life: 
he  that  cometh  to  me,  shall  never  hunger;  and  he  that 
believeth  on  me,  shall  never  thirst.  All  that  the  FA- 
THER giveth  me,  shall  come  to  me;  and  him  that 
cometh  to  me,  I  will  in  no  wise  cast  out.  —  John  vi, 
35,  37. 

BELIEVE  me,  that  I  am  in  the  FATHER,  and  the 
FATHER  in  me ;  or  else  believe  me  for  the  very  works' 
sake.  Verily,  verily,  I  say  unto  you,  He  that  believeth 
on  me,  the  works  that  I  do  shall  he  do  also :  and 
greater  ones  than  these  shall  he  do,  because  I  go  unto 
rny  FATHER.  And  whatsoever  ye  shall  ask  in  my 
name,  that  will  I  do;  that  the  FATHER  may  be  glori

fied  in  the  SON.     If  ye  shall  ask  any  thing  in   my 
name,  I  will  do  it.  —  John  xiv.  11-14. 

I  AM  the  true  Vine,  and  my  FATHER  is  the  Hus- 
bandman. Every  branch  in  me  that  beareth  not  fruit, 
he  taketh  away;  and  every  one  that  beareth  fruit,  he 
purgeth  it,  that  it  may  bring  forth  more  fruit.  Now 
ye  are  clean  through  the  word  which  I  have  spoken 
unto  you.  Abide  in  me,  and  I  in  you.  As  the  branch 
cannot  bear  fruit  of  itself,  except  it  abide  in  the  vine, 
no  more  can  ye,  except  ve  abide  in  me. — John  xv. 
1-4. 

I  AM  the  vine,  ye  are  the  branches :  he  that  abideth 
In  me,  and  I  in  him,  the  same  bringeth  forth  much 
fruit :  for  without  me  ye  can  do  nothing.  If  a  man 
abide  not  in  me,  he  is  cast  forth  as  a  branch,  and  is 
withered ;  and  men  gather  them,  and  cast  them  into 
the  fire,  and  they  are  burned.  If  ye  abide  in  me,  and 
my  words  abide  in  you,  ye  shall  ask  what  ye  will,  and 
it  shall  be  done  unto  you.  —  John  xv.  5  —  7. 

HEREIN  is  my  FATHER  glorified,  that  ye  bear  much 
fruit;  so  shall  ye  be  my  disciples.  As  the  FATHER 
hath  loved  me,  so  have  I  loved  you :  continue  ye  in 
my  love.  If  ye  keep  my  commandments,  ye  shall 
abide  in  my  love;  even  as  I  have  kept  my  FATHER'S 
commandments,  and  abide  in  his  love.  —  John  xv. 
8-10. 

YE  have  riot  chosen  me,  but  I  have  chosen  you, 
and  ordained  you,  that  ye  should  go  and  bring  forth 
fruit,  and  that  your  fruit  should  remain  :  that  whatso- 
ever ye  shall  ask  of  the  FATHER  in  my  name,  he  may 
give  it  you.  These  things  I  command  you,  that  ye 
love  one  another.  —  John  xv  16,  17. 

VERILY,  verily,  I  say  unto  you,  Whatsoever  ye  shall 
ask  the  FATHER  in  my  name,  he  will  give  it  you. 
Hitherto  have  ye  asked  nothing  in  my  name  :  ask,  and 
ye  shall  receive,  that  your  joy  may  be  full.  These 


ORDER    OF    WORSHIP.  il 

things  have  I  spoken  unto  you  in  proverbs:  but  the 
time  comcth,  when  I  shall  no  more  speak  unto  you  in 
proverbs,  but  I  shall  show  you  plainly  of  the  FATHER 
At  that  day  ye  shall  ask  in  my  name :  and  I  say  not 
unto  you,  that  I  will  pray  the  FATHER  for  you  ;  for  the 
FATHER  himself  loveth  you,  because  ye  have  loved 
me,  and  have  believed  that  I  came  out  from  GOD.  I 
came  forth  from  the  FATHER,  and  am  come  into  the 
world  :  again  I  leave  the  world,  and  go  to  the  FA- 
THER.—  John  xvi.  23-28. 

WHEREWITH  shall  I  come  before  JEHOVAH, 
And  bow  myself  before  the  high  GOD  ? 
Shall  I  come  before  him  with  burnt  offerings, 
With  calves  of  a  year  old  ? 

Will  JEHOVAH  be  pleased  with  thousands  of  rams, 
Or  with  ten  thousands  of  rivers  of  oil  ? 
Shall  I  give  my  first-born  for  my  transgression, 
The  fruit  of  my  body  for  the  sin  of  my  soul  ? 
He  hath  showed  thee,  O  man,  what  is  good ; 
And  what  doth  JEHOVAH  require  of  thee, 
But  to  do  justly,  and  to  love  mercy, 
And  to  walk  humbly  with  thy  GOD? —  Mic.  vi.  6-8. 

JEHOVAH  is  my  light  and  my  salvation;  whom 
shall  I  fear?  JEHOVAH  is  the  strength  of  my  life;  of 
whom  shall  I  be  afraid  ?  When  the  wicked,  mine 
enemies  and  my  foes,  came  upon  me  to  eat  up  my 
flesh,  they  stumbled  and  fell.  Though  an  host  should 
encamp  against  me,  my  heart  shall  not  fear:  though 
war  should  rise  against  me,  in  this  will  I  be  confident. 
One  thing  have  I  desired  of  JEHOVAH,  that  will  1  seek 
after;  that  I  may  dwell  in  the  house  of  JEHOVAH  all 
the  days  of  my  life,  to  behold  the  beauty  of  JEHOVAH, 
and  to  inquire  in  his  temple.  For  in  the  time  of 
trouble  he  shall  hide  me  in  his  pavilion  :  in  the  secret 
of  his  tabernacle  shall  he  hide  me ;  he  shall  set  rne  up

above  mine  enemies  round  about  me  :  therefore  will  I 
offer  in  his  tabernacle  sacrifices  of  joy;  I  will  sing, 
yea,  I  will  sing  praises  to  JEHOVAH.  Hear,  O  JEHOVAH  ; 


ORDER   OF    WORSHIP. 


I  cry  with  my  voice:  have  mercy  also  upon  me,  and 
answer  me.  —  Ps.  xxvii.  1  —  7. 


COME  and  hear,  all  ye  that  fear  GOD,  and  I  will  de- 
clare what  he  hath  done  for  my  soul.  I  cried  unto 
him  with  my  mouth,  and  he  was  extolled  with  my 
tongue.  If  I  regard  iniquity  in  my  heart,  the  LORD 
will  not  hear.  But  verily  GOD  hath  heard;  he  hath 
attended  to  the  voice  of  my  prayer.  Blessed  be  GOD, 
who  hath  not  turned  away  my  prayer,  nor  his  mercy 
from  me.  —  Ps.  Ixvi.  16  —  20. 

AND  when  thou  prayest,  thou  shalt  not  be  as  the 
hypocrites  :  for  they  love  to  pray  standing  in  the  syna- 
gogues and  in  the  corners  of  the  streets,  that  they  may 
be  seen  of  men.  Verily  I  say  unto  you,  they  have 
their  reward.  But  thou,  when  thou  prayest,  enter  into 
thy  closet  ;  and  when  thou  hast  shut  thy  door,  pray  to 
thy  FATHER  who  is  in  secret:  and  thy  FATHER  who 
seeth  in  secret,  shall  reward  thee  openly.  But  when 
ye  pray,  use  not  vain  repetitions,  as  the  heathen  do  : 
for  they  think  that  they  shall  be  heard  for  their  much 
speaking.  Be  not  ye  therefore  like  unto  them  :  for 
your  FATHER  knoweth  what  things  ye  have  need  of, 
before  ye  ask  him.  —  Mat.  vi.  5  —  8. 

O  COME,  let  us  worship  and  bow  down  :  let  us  kneel

HAVE  mercy  upon  me,  O  GOD,  according  to  thy 
loving-kindness:  according  unto  the  multitude  of  thy 
tender  mercies,  blot  out  my  transgressions.  Wash  me 
thoroughly  from  mine  iniquity,  and  cleanse  me  from 
my  sin.  For  I  acknowledge  my  transgressions:  and 
my  sin  is  ever  before  me.  Against  thee,  thee  only, 
have  I  sinned,  and  done  evil  in  thy  sight:  that  thou 
mightest  be  justified  when  thou  speakest,  and  be  clear 
when  thou  judgest.  Behold,  I  was  shapen  in  iniquity; 
and  in  sin  did  my  mother  conceive  me.  Behold,  thou 
desirest  truth  in  the  inward  parts:  and  in  the  hidden 
part  thou  shalt  make  me  to  know  wisdom.  Purge 
me  with  hyssop,  and  1  shall  be  clean;  wash  me, and 
T  shall  be  whiter  than  snow. —  Ps.  li.  1  —  7. 

HIDK  thy  face  from  my  sins,  and  blot  out  all  mine 
iniquities.  Create  in  me  a  clean  heart,  O  GOD;  and 
renew  a  right  spirit  within  me.  Cast  me  not  away 
from  thy  presence ;  and  take  not  thy  Holy  Spirit  from 
me.  Restore  unto  me  the  joy  of  thy  salvation  ;  and 
uphold  me  with  thy  free  Spirit.  Then  will  I  teach 
transgressors  thy  ways;  and  sinners  shall  be  converted 
unto  thee. —  Ps.  li.  9-13. 

O  LORD,  open  thou  my  lips,  and  my  mouth  shall 
show  forth  thy  praise.  For  thou  desirest  not  sacri- 
fice; else  would  I  give  it:  thou  delightest  not  in 
burnt-offering.  The  sacrifices  of  GOD  are  a  broken 
spirit:  a  broken  and  a  contrite  heart.  O  GOD,  thou  wilt 
not  despise.  Do  good  in  thy  good  pleasure  unto  '/Aon  : 
Ituild  thou  the  walls  of  Jerusalem.  Then  shalt  thou 
be  pleased  with  the  sacrifices  of  righieousness,  with 
burnt-offering  and  whole  burnt-offering:  then  -hall 
they  offer  bullocks  upon  thine  altar. —  Ps.  li.  !•">-  19. 

O  JEHOVAH,  thon  hast  searched  me,  and  known  me  : 
thou  knowest  mv  down-sitting  and  my  up-rising  ;  thou 
2 


ORDER   OF    WORSHIP. 

understandest  my  thought  afar  off.  Thou  compass- 
est  my  path  and  my  lying  down,  and  art  acquainted 
with  all  my  ways.  For  there  is  not  a  word  in  my 
tongue,  but lo,  O JEHOVAH, thon  knowest  it  altogether. 
—  Ps.  cxxxix.  1  —  4. 

WHITHER  shall  T  go  from  thy  Spirit?  or  whither 
shall  I  flee  from  thy  presence?  If  I  ascend  up  into 
heaven,  thou  art  there :  if  I  make  my  bed  in  hell,  be- 
hold, thou  art  there.  If  I  take  the  wings  of  the  morn- 
ing, and  dwell  in  the  uttermost  parts  of  the  sea  ;  even 
there  shall  thy  hand  lead  me,  and  thy  right  hand  shall 
hold  me.  If  I  say,  Surely  the  darkness  shall  cover 
me ;  even  the  night  shall  be  light  about  me.  Yea, 
the  darkness  hideth  not  from  thee ;  but  the  night 
shineth  as  the  day:  the  darkness  and  the  light  are 
both  alike  to  thee. —  Ps.  cxxxix.  7  —  12. 

I  remember  the  days  of  old ;  I  meditate  on  all  thy 
works;  I  muse  on  the  work  of  thy  hands.  I  stretch 
forth  my  hands  unto  thee  :  my  soul  thirsteth  after  thee, 
as  a  thirsty  land.  Hear  me  speedily,  O  JEHOVAH  ;  my 
spirit  faileth  :  hide  not  thy  face  from  me,  lest  I  be  like 
unto  them  that  go  down  into  the  pit.  Cause  me.  to 
hear  thy  loving-kindness  in  the  morning;  for  in  thee 
do  I  trust :  cause  me  to  know  the  way  wherein  I 
should  walk  ;  for  I  lift  up  my  soul  unto  thee.  Deliver 
me,  O  jEHOVAHjfrorn  my  enemies :  I  flee  unto  thee  to 
hide  me.  Teach  me  to  do  thy  will ;  for  thou  art  my 
GOD  :  thy  Spirit  is  good ;  lead  me  into  the  land  of 
uprightness.  —  Ps.  cxliii.  5—  10. 

OUT  of  the  depths  have  I  cried  to  thee,  O  JEHOVAH  : 
LORD,  hear  my  voice  :  let  thine  ears  be  attentive  to  the 
voice  of  my  supplications.  If  thou,  O  JAH,  shouldest 
mark  iniquities,  O  LoRD,who  shall  stand?  But  there 
is  forgiveness  with  thee,  that  thou  mayest  be  feared. 
I  wait  for  JEHOVAH,  my  soul  doth  wait,  and  in  his  word 
do  I  hope.  My  soul  waiteth  for  the  LORD  more  than 
they  that  watch  for  the  morning:  more  than  they  that 
watch  for  the  morning.  Let  Israel  hope  in  JEHOVAH;

lor  with  JEHOVAH  there  is  mercy:  and  with  him  is 
plenteous  redemption ;  and  he  shall  redeem  Israel  from 
all  his  iniquities.  —  Ps.  cxxx.  1  —  8. 

BE  merciful  unto  me,  O  LORD  :  for  I  cry  unto  thee 
daily.  Rejoice  the  soul  of  thy  servant :  for  unto  thee, 
O  LORD,  do  I  lift  up  my  soul.  For  thou,  LORD,  art 
good,  and  ready  to  forgive ;  and  plenteous  in  mercy 
unto  all  them  that  call  upon  thee.  Give  ear,  O  JEHO- 
VAH, to  my  prayer;  and  attend  to  the  voice  of  my  sup- 
plications. In  the  day  of  rny  trouble  I  will  call  upon 
thee:  for  thou  wilt  answer  me.  —  Ps.  Ixxxvi.  3  —  7. 

O  JEHOVAH  God  of  Hosts,  hear  my  prayer:  give  ear, 
O  GOD  of  Jacob.  Behold,  O  God,  our  shield ;  and 
look  upon  the  face  of  thine  anointed.  For  a  day  in 
thy  courts  is  better  than  a  thousand.  I  had  rather  be 
a  door-keeper  in  the  house  of  my  GOD,  than  to  dwell 
in  the  tents  of  wickedness.  For  JEHOVAH  GOD  is  a 
sun  and  shield;  JEHOVAH  will  give  grace  and  glory: 
no  good  will  he  withhold  from  them  that  walk  up- 
rightly. O  JEHOVAH  of  hosts,  blessed  is  the  man  that 
trusteth  in  thee. —  Ps.  Ixxxiv.  8  —  12. 

THY  mercy,  O  JEHOVAH,  is  in  the  heavens;  and  thy 
faithfulness  reacheth  unto  the  clouds.  Thy  righteous- 
ness is  like  the  mountains  of  GOD;  thy  judgments  are 
a  great  deep :  O  JKHOVAH,  thou  preserveat  man  and 
beast.  How  excellent  is  thy  loving-kindness,  O  GOD! 
therefore  the  children  of  men  put  their  trust  under  the 
shadow  of  thy  wii,g<.  They  shall  be  abundantly  satis- 
fied with  the  fatness  of  thy  house;  and  thou  shalt 
make  them  drink  of  the  river  of  thy  pleasures.  For 
with  thee  is  the  fountain  of  life :  in  thy  light  shall  we 
eee  light.  O  continue  thy  loving-kindness  unto  them 
that  know  thee;  and  thy  righteousness  to  the  upright 
in  heart. —  Ps.  xxxvi.  5-10. 

UNTO  thee,  O  JEHOVAH,  I  lift  up  my  soul :  O  my 
GOD,  I  trust  in  thee.  Let  me  not  be  ashamed  ;  let  not 
mine  enemies  triumph  over  me.  Yea,  let  none  that

wait  on  thee  be  ashamed  :  let  them  be  ashamed  who 
transgress  without  cause.  Show  me  thy  ways,  O 
JEHOVAH  ;  leach  me  thy  paths.  Lead  me  in  thy  truth, 
and  teach  me  •  for  thou  art  the  GOD  of  my  salvation ; 
on  thee  do  I  wait  all  the  day.  Remember,  O  JEHOVAH, 
thy  tender  mercies  and  thy  loving-kindnesses;  for  they 
have  been  ever  of  old.  Remember  not  the  sins  of 
rny  youth,  nor  my  transgressions :  according  to  thy 
mercy  remember  thou  me,  for  thy  goodness'  sake,  O 
JEHOVAH.  —  Ps.  xxv.  1-7. 

Let  my  cry  come  near  before  thee,  O  JEHOVAH  :  give 
me  understanding  according  to  thy  word.  Let  rny 
supplication  come  before  thee:  deliver  me  according 
to  thy  word.  My  lips  shall  utter  praise,  when  thou 
hast  taught  me  thy  statutes.  My  tongue  shall  speak 
of  thy  word  :  for  all  thy  commandments  are  righteous- 
ness. Let  thy  hand  help  me;  for  I  have  chosen  thy 
precepts.  I  have  longed  for  thy  salvation,  O  JEHOVAH  ; 
and  thy  law  is  my  delight.  Let  my  soul  live,  and  it 
shall  praise  thee ;  and  let  thy  judgments  help  me.  I 
have  gone  astray  like  a  lost  sheep:  seek  thy  servant; 
for  I  do  not  forget  thy  commandments.  —  Ps.  cxix.

PRAYERS. 

O  JEHOVAH  GOD  of  Israel,  who  dwellest  between 
the  cherubims,  thou  art  the  very  GOD,  even  thou  alone, 
of  all  the  kingdoms  of  the  earth  :  thou  hast  made 
heaven  and  earth.  Bow  down  thine  ear,  O  JEHOVAH, 
and  hear;  open  thine  eyes,  O  JEHOVAH,  and  see.  Look 
doxvn  from  heaven,  and  behold  from  the  habitation  of 
thy  holiness  and  of  thy  glory.  Doubtless  thou  art  our 
FATHER,  though  Abraham  be  ignorant  of  us,  and  Israel 
acknowledge  us  not  :  thou,  O  JEHOVAH,  art  our  FA- 
THER, our  Redeemer;  thy  name  is  from  everlasting. 

We  acknowledge,  O  JEHOVAH,  our  wickedness,  and 
the  iniquity  of  our  fathers;  for  we  have  sinned  against 
thee.  We  are  all  as  an  unclean  thing;  and  all  our 
righteousnesses  are  as  filthy  rags :  and  we  all  do  fade 


ORDER   OF   WORSHIP.  17 

as  a  leaf;  and  our  iniquities,  like  the  wind,  have  taken 
us  away.  But  now,  O  JEHOVAH,  thou  art  our  FATHER: 
\ve  are  the  clay,  and  thou  our  potter ;  and  we  all  are 
the  work  of  thy  hand.  Help  us,  O  GOD  of  our  salva- 
tion, for  the  glory  of  thy  name :  and  deliver  us,  and 
purge  away  our  sins,  for  thy  name's  sake.  O  JEHO- 
VAH, lift  thou  up  the  light  of  thy  countenance  upon  us. 
Arise  for  our  help ;  and  redeem  us  for  thy  mercy's  sake. 
Show  us  thy  mercy,  O  JEHOVAH  ;  and  grant  us  thy 
salvation.  O  LORD,  hear:  O  LORD,  forgive;  O  LORD, 
hearken,  and  do:  defer  not,  O  our  GOD.  Quicken  us, 
and  we  will  call  upon  thy  name.  Turn  us  again,  O 
JEHOVAH  GOD  of  hosts;  cause  thy  face  to  shine,  and 
we  shall  be  saved. 

Let  all  that  put  their  trust  in  thee  rejoice :  let  them 
shout  for  joy  because  thou  defendest  them:  let  them 
also  that  love  thy  name  be  joyful  in  thee.  So  teach 
us  to  number  our  days,  that  we  may  apply  our  hearts 
unto  wisdom.  O  satisfy  us  early  with  thy  mercy, 
that  we  may  rejoice  and  be  glad  all  our  days. 

GOD  be  merciful  unto  us,  and  bless  us;  and  cause 
his  face  to  shine  upon  us :  that  thy  way  may  be 
known  upon  earth,  thy  saving  health  among  all  na- 
tions. Let  the  people  praise  thee,  O  GOD;  let  all  the 
people  praise  thee.  Then  shall  the  earth  yield  her 
increase ;  and  GOD,  even  our  o\vn  GOD,  shall  bless  us.

INTRODUCTION   TO*  THE   LESSONS. 

Here  one  of  the  following  portions  from  the  Word  may  be  used,  the  Minister 
and  People  reading  alternate  lineg,  all  standing;  or  the  Minister  may  read 
alone,  the  people  sitting. 

1.  The  law  of  JEHOVAH  is  perfect,  converting  the  sonl : 
The  testimony  of  JEHOVAH    is  sure,  making  wise 

the  simple. 

2.  The  statutes  of  JEHOVAH  are   right,  rejoicing  the 

heart : 

The  commandment  of  JEHOVAH  is  pure,  enlighten- 
ing the  eyes. 

3.  The  fear  of  JEHOVAH  is  clean,  enduring  for  ever : 
The  judgments  of  JEHOVAH  are  true,  and  righteous 

altogether. 

4.  More  to  be  desired  are  they  than  gold;  yea,  than 

much  fine  gold : 
Sweeter  also  than  honey,  and  the  honey-comb.

THE   TEN   COMMANDMENTS. 

EXODC8    XX. 

Now  therefore  hearken,  O  Israel,  to  the  statutes 
and  to  the  judgments,  which  I  teach  you,  to  do,  that 
ye  may  live,  and  go  in  and  possess  the  land  which 
JEHOVAH  the  God  of  your  fathers  giveth  you.  Ye  shall 
not  add  to  the  word  which  I  command  you,  neither 
shall  ye  diminish  from  it,  that  ye  may  keep  the  com- 
mandments of  JEHOVAH  your  GOD  which  I  command 
you. 

And  GOD  spake  all  these  words,  saying, 

I. 

1  AM  JEHOVAH  thy  GOD,  who  have  brought  thee  out 
of  the  hnd  of  Egypt,  out  of  the  house  of  bondage. 


24  ORDER   OF   WORSHIP. 

Thou  shalt  have  no  other  gods  before  me.  Thou  shalt 
not  make  unto  thee  any  graven  image,  or  any  likeness 
of  any  thing  that  is  in  heaven  above,  or  that,  is  in  the 
earth  beneath,  or  that  is  in  the  water  under  the  eartli : 
thou  shalt  not  bow  down  thyself  to  them,  nor  serve 
them:  for  I  JEHOVAH  thy  GOD  am  a  jealous  GOD 
visiting  the  iniquity  of  the  fathers  upon  the  children 
unto  the  third  and  fourth  generation  of  them  that  hate 
me;  and  showing  mercy  unto  the  thousandth  genera- 
tion of  them  that  love  me,  and  keep  my  command- 
ments. 

Holy,  holy,  holy,  is  JE  |  HO-VAH  of  |  Hosts : 
The  whole  |  earth  is  |  full' of  his  |  glory. 

II. 

Thou  shalt  not  take  the  name  of  JEHOVAH  thy  GOD 
in  vain:  for  JEHOVAH  will  not  hold  him  guiltless  that 
taketh  his  name  in  vain. 

He  hath  commanded  his  |  cove-nant  for  j  ever : 
Holy  and  |  reverend  |  is  His  |  name. 

III. 

Remember  the  Sabbath  day  to  keep  it  holy.  Six 
days  shalt  thou  labor,  and  do  all  thy  work  :  but  the 
seventh  day  is  the  Sabbath  of  JEHOVAH  thy  GOD:  in 
it  thou  shalt  not  do  any  work,  thou,  nor  thy  son,  nor 
thy  daughter,  thy  man-servant,  nor  thy  maid-servant, 
nor  thy  cattle,  nor  thy  stranger  that  is  within  thy 
gates:  for  in  six  days  JEHOVAH  made  heaven  and 
earth,  the  sea.  and  all  that  in  them  is,  and  rested  the 
seventh  day :  wherefore  JEHOVAH  blessed  the  Sabbath 
day,  and  hallowed  it.

Let  all  the  |  earth  keep  |  si'lence  be  j  fore  him.

VII. 

Thou  shalt  not  steal. 

Order  my  steps  |  in  thy  |  word, 

And  let  not  any  iniquity  have  do  |  minion  |  over  |  me. 

VIII. 

Thou  shalt  not  bear  false  witness  against  thy  neigh 
bor. 

I  have  chosen  the  |  way  of  |  truth : 

Thy  judgments  |  have  I  |  laid  be  |  fore  me.

DEUTERONOMY     V. 


HEAR,  O  Israel,  the  statutes  and  judgments  which 
I  speak  in  your  ears  this  day,  that  ye  may  learn 
them,  and  keep,  and  do  them.  JEHOVAH  talked  with 
you  face  to  face  in  the  mount,  out  nf  the  midst  of  the 
fire,  saying, 

I. 

I  AM  JEHOVAH  thy  GOD,  who  brought  thee  out  of 
the  land  of  Egypt,  from  the  house  of  bondage.  Thou 
shalt  have  none  other  gods  before  rne.  Thou  shalt 
not  make  thee  any  graven  image,  or  any  likeness  of 
any  thing  that  is  in  heaven  above,  or  that  is  in  the 
earth  beneath,  or  that  is  in  the  waters  beneath  the 
earth  :  thou  shalt  not  bow  down  thyself  to  them,  nor 
serve  them :  for  I  JEHOVAH  thy  GOD  am  a  jealous 
GOD,  visiting  the  iniquity  of  the  fathers  upon  the 
children,  unto  the  third  and  fourth  generation  of  them 
that  hate  me;  and  showing  mercy  unto  the  thou- 
sandth generation  of  them  that  love  me,  and  keep  my 
commandments. 

Holy,  holy,  holy,  LORD  |  GOD  Al  |  mighty ; 
Who  was,  and  who  j  is,  and  who  |  is  to  |  come. 

II. 

Thou  shalt  not  take  the  name  of  JEHOVAH  thy  Gor/ 
in  vain :  for  JEHOVAH  will  not  hold  him  guiltless  that 
taketh  his  name  in  vain. 

Who  shall  not  fear  |  thee,  O  |  LORD, 

And  glorify  thy  name?  for  |  thou  a  j  lone  art  |  holy. 

III. 

Keep  the  Sabbath  day  to  sanctify  it,  as  JEHOVAH 
thy  GOD  hath  commanded  thee.  Six  days  thou  shah 
labor,  and  do  all  thy  work  :  but  the  seventh  day  is  the 


ORDER   OF   WORSHIP.  27 

Sabbath  of  JEHOVAH  thy  GOD  :  in  it  thou  shall  not 
do  any  work,  thou,  nor  thy  son,  nor  thy  daughter,  nor 
thy  man-servant,  nor  thy  maid-servant,  nor  thine  ox, 
nor  thine  ass,  nor  any  of  thy  cattle,  nor  thy  stran- 
ger that  is  within  thy  gates;  that  thy  man-servant 
and  thy  maid-servant  may  rest  as  well  as  thou.  And 
remember  that  thou  wast  a  servant  in  the  land  of 
Egypt,  and  that  JEHOVAH  thy  GOD  brought  thee  out 
thence  through  a  mighty  hand  and  by  an  outstretched 
arm  :  therefore  JEHOVAH  thy  GOD  commanded  thee 
to  keep  the  Sabbath  day. 

This  is  the  day  which  JE  |  HO.VAH  hath  |  made  : 
We  will  re  |  joice  •  and  be  |  glad  in  j  it. 

IV. 

Honor  thy  father  and  thy  mother,  as  JEHOVAH  thy 
GOD  hath  commanded  thee;  that  thy  days  may  be 
prolonged,  and  that  it  may  go  well  with  thee,  in  the 
land  which  JEHOVAH  thy  GOD  giveth  thee. 

The  righteous  shall  in  |  her -it  the  |  land, 
And  |  dwell  there  |  in  for  |  ever. 

V. 

Thou  shalt  not  kill. 

Let  thy  mercies  come  unto  me,  that  |  I  may  |  live; 
For  thy  |  law  is  |  my  de  |  light. 

VI. 

Neither  shalt  thou  commit  adultery 

Thy  word  is  |  very  |  pure : 
Therefore  thy  |  servant  |  loveth  |  it, 

VII. 

Neither  shalt  thou  steal. 

Righteous  art  thou,  |  0  JE  |  HOVAHI 
And  |  upright  |  are  thy  |  judgments.

Neither  shalt  thou  desire  thy  neighbor's  wife. 

I  have  in  |  clined  my  |  heart 

To  perform  thy  statutes  |  always,  |  to  the  |  end. 

X. 

Neither  shalt  thou  covet  thy  neighbor's  house,  his 
field,  or  his  man-servant,  or  his  maid-servant,  his  ox, 
or  his  ass,  or  any  thing  that  is  thy  neighbor's. 

Thou  art  near,  |  O  JK  |  HOVAII  ; 

And  all  thy  com  |  mandments  |  are  |  truth. 

THE   TWO    GREAT   COMMANDMENTS. 

Now  these  are  the  commandments,  the  statutes, 
and  t\ie  judgments,  which  JEHOVAH  your  GOD  com- 
manded to  teach  you,  that  ye  might  do  them  in  the 
land  whither  ye  pass  over  to  possess  it;  that  thou 
mightest  fear  JEHOVAH  thy  GOD,  to  keep  all  his  sta- 
tutes and  his  commandments,  which  I  command  thee, 
thou,  and  thy  son,  and  thy  son's  son,  all  the  days  of 
thy  life  ;  and  that  thy  days  may  be  prolonged.  Hear, 
theiefore,  O  Israel,  and  observe  to  do;  that  it  may  be 
well  with  thee,  and  that  ye  may  increase  mightily, 
as  JEHOVAH  GOD  of  thy  fathers  hath  promised  thee, 
in  the  land  that  flovveth  with  milk  and  honey. 

I. 

The  First  of  all  the  Commandments  is,  Hear,  O 
Israel ;  the  LORD  our  GOD  is  one  LORD  :  and  thou  shalt 
love  the  LORD  thy  GOD  with  all  thy  heart,  and  with 


ORDER   OF   WORSHIP.  29 

all  thy  soul,  and  with  all  thy  mind,  and  with  all  thy 
strength.     This  is  the  First  Commandment. 

1.  Thou  art  |  wor-thy,  O  |  LORD, 

To  receive  |  glo  •  ry,  and  |  hon  •  or,  and  |  power : 

2.  For  thou  hast  ere  |  a  •  ted  all  |  things ; 

And  for  thy  pleasure  they  |  are,  and  |  were  ere  |  ated. 

II. 

And  the  Second  is  like  unto  it :  Thou  shalt  love 
thy  neighbor  as  thyself.  On  these  Two  Command- 
ments hang  all  the  Law  and  the  Prophets. 

1.  All  the  paths  of  JEHOVAH  are  |  mer-cy  and  |  truth, 

To  those  that  keep  his  covenant  |  and  his  |  testi  |  monies. 

And  these  words  which  I  command  thee  this  day 
shall  be  in  thine  heart;  and  thou  shalt  teach  them 
diligently  unto  thy  children,  and  shalt  talk  of  them 
when  thou  sittest  in  thine  house,  and  when  thou 
walkest  by  the  way,  and  when  thou  liest  down,  and 
when  thou  risest  up.  And  thou  shalt  bind  them  for 
a  sign  upon  thine  hand,  and  they  shall  be  as  frontlets 
between  thine  eyes.  And  thou  shalt  write  them  upon 
the  posts  of  thine  house,  and  on  thy  gates. 

1.  Behold,  JEJHO-VAH  our  j  GOD 

Hath  showed  us  his  |  glory  |  and  his  |  greatness : 

2.  And  we  have  |  heard  his  |  voice 
Out  of  the  |  midst  |  of  the  |  fire : 

3.  We  have  |  seen  this  I  day, 

That  GOD  doth  |  talk  with  |  man,  and  he  |  liveth. 

1.  And  JEHOVAH  commanded  us  to  do  |  all  these  |  statutes  j 
To  fear  JEHOVAH  our  |  GOD,  for  our  |  good  |  always: 

5.  That  he  might  pre  |  serve -us  a  |  live, 
As  |  it  |  is  this  |  day. 

t>.  And  it  shall  be  our  |  righteous  |  ness, 

If  we  observe  to  |  do  all  |  these  com  |  mandmenta, 

7.  Before  JEJHO'VAH  our  |  GOD, 
As  he  I  hath  com  I  manded  I  us.

them,  saying, 

I. 

Blessed  are  the  poor  in  spirit:  for  theirs  is  the  king-

ness' sake :  for  theirs  is  the  kingdom  of  heaven. 

The  salvation  of  the  righteous  is  |  of  JE  |  HOVAH  :

AND  I  saw  a  new  heaven  and  a  new  earth  ioi  the 
first  heaven  and  the  first  earth  were  passed  away; 
and  there  was  no  more  sea.  And  I,  John,  saw  the 
holy  city,  New  Jerusalem,  coming  down  from  GOD 
out  of  heaven,  prepared  as  a  bride  adorned  for  her 
husband.  And  I  heard  a  great  voice  out  of  heaven 
saying,  Behold,  the  tabernacle  of  GOD  is  with  men, 
and  he  will  dwell  with  them,  and  they  shall  be  his  peo-

GOD:  and  her  light  was  like  unto  a  stone  most  pre- 
cious, even  like  a  jasper  stone,  clear  as  crystal ;  and 
had  a  wall  great  and  high,  and  had  twelve  gates,  and 
at  the  gates  twelve  angels,  and  names  written  thereon, 


ORDER   OF    WORSHIP.  33 

which  are  the  names  of  the  twelve  tribes  of  the  child- 
ren of  Israel. 

And  the  twelve  gates  were  |  twelve  |  pearls ; 
Every  several  |  gate -was  of  |  one  |  pearl: 
And  the  street  of  the  city  was  |  pure  |  gold, 
As  it  |  were  trans  |  parent  |  glass. 

IV. 

AND  the  wall  of  the  city  had  twelve  foundations, 
and  in  them  the  names  of  the  twelve  apostles  of  the 
LAMB.  And  he  that  talked  with  me  had  a  golden 
reed  to  measure  the  city,  and  the  gates  thereof,  and 
the  wall  thereof.  And  the  city  lieth  four-square ;  and 
the  length  is  as  large  as  the  breadth :  and  he  mea- 
sured the  city  with  the  reed,  twelve  thousand  furlongs  : 
the  length  and  the  breadth  and  the  height  of  it  are 
equal.  And  he  measured  the  wall  thereof,  an  hun- 
dred forty  and  four  cubits,  the  measure  of  a  man,  that 
is,  of  an  angel.  And  I  saw  no  temple  therein  :  for  the 
LORD  GOD  Almighty  and  the  LAMB  are  the  temple  of  it. 

And  the  city  had  no   |   need  of  the  j  sun, 
Neither  of  the  |  moon,  to  |  shine  in   j  it  • 
For  the  glory  of  GOD  did  |  lighten  |  it, 
And  the  |  LAMB  •  is  the  |  light  there  |  of. 

V. 

AND  the  nations  of  them  that  are  saved  shall 
walk  in  the  light  of  it:  and  the  kings  of  the  earth  do 
bring  their  glory  and  honor  into  it.  And  the  gates  of 
it  shall  not  be  shut  at  all  by  day :  for  there  shah1  be 
no  night  there.  And  they  shall  bring  the  glory  and 
honor  of  the  nations  into  it. 

And  there  shall  in  no  wise  enter  |  into  |  it 

Any  |  thing  |  that  de  |  fileth, 

Or  worketh  abomination,  or  |  mak-eth  a  |  lie: 

But  they  that  are  written  in  the  |  LAMB'S  |  book  of  |  life. 

VI. 

AND  he  showed  me  a  pure  river  of  water  of  life, 
clear  as  crystal,  proceeding  out  of  the  throne  of  GOD 
and  of  the  LAMB.  In  the  midst  of  the  ptrer-t  of  it,  and 


o4  ORDER   OF   WORSHIP. 

on  either  side  of  the  river,  was  the  tree  of  life,  which 
bare  twelve  manner  of  fruits,  and  yielded  her  fruit 
every  month  :  and  the  leaves  of  the  tree  were  for  the 
healing  of  the  nations. 

And  the  throne  of  GOD  and  of  the  LAMB  shall  |  be  in  |  it ; 

And  his  |  ser'vants  shall  |  serve  |  him: 

And  they  shall  |  see  his  |  face; 

And  his  |  name  shall  |  be-in  their  |  foreheads. 

VII. 

AND,  behold.  I  come  quickly;  and  my  reward  is 
with  me,  to  give  every  man  according  as  his  work 
shall  be.  I  am  Alpha  and  Omega,  the  Beginning  and 
the  End,  the  First  and  the  Last.  Blessed  are  they 
that  do  his  commandments,  that  they  may  have  right 
to  the  tree  of  life,  and  may  enter  in  through  the  gates 
into  the  city.  I  JESUS  have  sent  mine  angel  to  testify 
unto  you  these  things  in  the  churches.  I  am  the  root 
and  the  offspring  of  David,  the  bright  and  morning  Star. 

He  that  testifieth  j  these  |  things, 
Saith,  |  Surely  |  I  come  |  quickly : 

A  | [  men. 

Even  |  so,  |  come,  LORD  |  JESUS.

INVITATIONS    TO   WORSHIP. 


BELOVED  BRETHREN:  —  We  are  now  assembled  in 
the  presence  of  the  LORD,  to  acknowledge  him  in  his 
Divine  Humanity  as  our  FATHER  in  the  heavens;  to 
worship  him  in  spirit  and  in  truth ;  to  confess  before 
him  our  manifold  evils;  to  give  thanks  to  him  for  his 
abundant  mercies;  to  pray  that  his  kingdom  may 
come,  and  his  will  be  done,  on  the  earth,  as  it  is  done 
in  heaven;  and  with  humble  hearts  to  ascribe  the 
power  and  glory  unto  him.  Let  us  then  look  to  the 
LORD  for  his  divine  blessing. 

Or  this. 

Beloved  Brethren:  —  The  LORD  jn  His  love  and 
wisdom  having  preserved  us  through  another  week, 
in  this  our  transitory  home,  having  given  us  our  daily 
bread,  and  provided  for  our  earthly  wants,  hath  now 
invited  and  required  us,  on  this  His  holy  day,  to  come 
into  ills  gates  with  thanksgiving  and  into  his  courts 
with  praise.  Let  us  then  look  to  Him,  that  we  may 
receivs  of  that  bread  which  cometh  down  from  hea- 
ven, and  of  that  water  of  life  which  satisfieth  the 
thirst  of  the  soul.  Here  let  all  our  anxious  and  earthly 
cares  be  removed,  and  all  our  holy  and  heavenly  af- 
fections awakened. 

This  is  the  day  that  the  LORD  hath  made  :  it  is  the 
day  in  which  the  LORD  arose;  and  it  is  the  day  in 
which  we  should  :»lso,  in  a  more  especial  manner

arise  from  natural  to  spiritual  affections  and  thoughts  ; 
—  from  the  cares  of  the  body,  to  the  concerns  of  the 
soul;  —  from  the  scenes  of  time,  to  the  realities  of 
eternity.  Thus  will  the  day  be  to  us  a  blessing. 

And  when  we  pray  to  the  LORD,  when  we  hear  His 
Holy  Word,  or  when  we  utter  our  rejoicings  for  Hia 
mercy  and  goodness  toward  us,  our  hearts  will  be 
warmed,  our  minds  enlightened,  our  life  renewed  and 
strengthened,  and  our  souls  fed  with  the  food  on  which 
the  angels  live.  And  in  all  His  mercies  we  shall  re- 
cognize the  LORD  as  present,  and  the  glory  of  the 
HOLY  ONE  beaming  upon  us  from  His  opened  Word. 


Or  this. 


Beloved  Brethren :  —  We  are  directed  in  the  di- 
vine Word  to  render  unto  the  LORD  the  worship  oi 
our  hearts  and  of  our  lips.  For  he  is  our  Creator; 
and  we  are  the  work  of  his  hands:  He  is  our  Pre- 
server; for  it  is  in  Him  that  we  live,  and  move,  and 
have  our  being :  He  is  our  Redeemer ;  for  he  delivers 
us  from  our  evils:  He  is  our  Savior;  for  He  saves  us 
from  our  sins.  He  is  good  to  all ;  and  his  tender 
mercies  are  over  all  his  works.  He  maketh  his  sun  to 
rise  on  the  evil  and  on  the  good,  and  sendeth  rain  on 
the  just  and  on  the  unjust. 

Nevertheless,  it  is  not  for  his  own  sake  that  the 
LORD  requires  us  to  \vorship  him,  but  for  our  sake. 
For  when  we  prostrate  ourselves  before  our  Heavenly 
FATHER,  in  heartfelt  acknowledgment  of  Him  ;  when 
we  supplicate  him  for  his  mercies ;  when  we  praise 
him  for  his  benefits,  we  are  raised,  for  the  time,  above 
our  selfish  and  worldly  life ;  and  the  door  is  opened 
for  the  LORD  to  enter;  to  implant  in  our  hearts  and 
minds  states  of  innocence,  charity,  and  faith ;  and  to 
establish  within  us  the  kingdom  of  heaven. 

True  worship,  like  true  religion,  is  external  as  wel^ 
as  internal.     But  in  order  that  the  one  may  be  in  hai 
monv  and  correspond  with  the  other,  it  is  prooer  that 


ORDER   OF   WORSHIP.  43 

the  silent  worship  of  the  heart  should  be  brought  forth 
into  fulness  in  the  open  worship  of  the  lips;  and  this 
is  more  abundantly  effected,  when  the  true  worshipers 
of  the  LORD  are  assembled  together  to  seek  his  pre- 
sence in  his  holy  temple.  The  LORD  is  evermore  invit- 
ing us  to  come  unto  him,  that  we  may  have  life :  Let  us 
comply  with  his  gracious  invitation  :  Let  us  pou*out 
before  him  the  feelings  of  sincere  humiliation  and  re- 
pentance: Let  us  hearken  with  meekness  to  his  holy 
Word,  and  to  his  Divine  Commandments :  Let  us  en- 
treat him  to  breathe  upon  us  the  life-giving  influences 
of  his  Holy  Spirit 


PRAYERS. 


CUR  FATHER,  who  art  in  the  heavens ;  help  us,  we 
humbly  pray  thee,  to  acknowledge  and  reverence  thy 
holy  name,  and  to  worship  thee  in  thy  works,  in  thy 
Word,  and  in  thy  Divine  Humanity.  In  thy  holy 
Word  reveal  to  us  thy  truth,  enlighten  us  in  thy  way, 
and  reign  in  us  by  thy  wisdom,  till  we  become  thine, 
image.  Warm  our  hearts  with  thy  love,  fill  our  af- 
fections with  the  spirit  of  thy  goodness,  till  our  inner 
man  is  made  into  thy  likeness.  Help  us,  O  LORD,  to 
bring  forth  thy  love  and  wisdom  into  our  daily  life : 
May  they  speak  in  what  we  say,  and  act  in  what  we 
do;  and  may  our  earthly  nature  become  in  all  things 
subject  to  thy  heavenly  influences.  Feed  our  souls 
from  the  table  of  thy  love  with  that  spiritual  food  best 
suited  to  our  states ;  and  enable  us  to  look  to  thee  for 
all  that  is  good,  and  all  that  is  true.  We  confess  our 
trespasses  and  sins  before  thee,  and  pray  thee  to  for- 
give us.  O  LORD,  remember  not  our  iniquities  against 
us  ;  but  as  far  as  the  east  is  from  the  west,  so  far  re- 
move our. transgressions  from  us.  Preserve  us  in  al) 
temptations  and  trials  of  soul,  through  which  it  may 
be  our  lot  to  pass  :  Suffer  us  not  to  be  tempted  above 
what  we  are  able  to  bear:  May  all  the  afflictions 
either  of  body  or  soul  incident  to  our  progress  in  the 
regenerate  life,  in  the  denying  of  self,  taking  up  the 
cross,  and  following  thee,  be  but  the  means  in  thy 
merciful  hands,  of  loosening  the  hold  of  evil  upon 
us,  and  delivering  us  from  it. 


ORDER    OF    WORSHIP.  45 

Our  Heavenly  FATHER,  whatsoever  things  we  have 
asked  for  ourselves,  we  would  also  ask  for  others :  for 
our  rulers  and  governors ;  for  our  nation,  and  all 
nations  ;  and  for  thy  Church  and  people  throughout 
the  world.  Especially  would  we  ask  them  for  all  who 
acknowledge  thee  in  thy  Divine  Humanity,  as  the 
only  GOD  of  heaven  and  earth.* 

For  thine  is  the  kingdom,  and  the  power,  and  the 
glory,  forever.  AMEN. 

Or  this. 

O  LORD,  our  FATHER  in  heaven,  we  would  approach 
Thee  in  love  and  in  worship.  In  Thy  Divine  Hu- 
manity we  acknowledge  Thee  as  Creator,  Redeemer, 
and  Savior.  We  come  to  thee  ;  we  humble  ourselves 
before  Thee,  confessing  that  we  have  sinned;  and  ask 
of  Thy  Divine  mercy,  that  our  sins  may  be  forgiven, 
its  we  forsake  them  and  put  them  away,  and  as  we 
thus  forgive  those  who  trespass  against  us.  Be  thou 
present  with  us  now  and  always.  LORD,  teach  us  to 
pray  for  all  things  that  are  good  and  true,  and  fit  us 
to  receive  them  at  Thy  hands.  May  our  hearts  and 
understandings  ever  be  open  before  Thee,  to  receive 
Thy  quickening  love  and  heavenly  wisdom ;  and  as 
Thou  rememberest  us,  so  may  we  remember  others, 
and  ever  seek  to  do  them  good.  May  love  to  our 
neighbor  impel  us  to  teach  him,  as  we  have  learned 
of  Thee :  may  the  prosperity  and  welfare  of  Thy 
Church  be  always  present  before  us;  and  may  we 
ever  pray  for  the  peace  of  Jerusalem.  May  kindne.s.'i 
(o  all  be  impressed  upon  our  life  and  conduct:  may 
(he.  wanderer  be  restored  to  the  right  way,  and  the 
way-faring  man  preserved  in  the  truth.  May  Thv 
blessings  be  multiplied  upon  the  faithful ;  and  Thy 
mercies,  like  the  dews  of  heaven,  descend  upon  them  : 
and  may  we  all  forsake  our  evils,  and  look  to  Thee 
alone  as  the  Sun  of  our  spiritual  firmament,  and  wor- 
ship Thee  alone  for  ever  and  ever.  AMKN.

Our  FATHER  in  heaven,*  who  hast  given  us  grace 
at  this  time  with  one  accord  to  make  our  common 
supplications  unto  thee,  and  dost  promise  that  when 
two  or  three  are  gathered  together  in  thy  name,  than 
wilt  grant  their  request;  fulh'l  now,  O  LORD,  the  de-

Or  this. 

O  LORD,  our  Heavenly  FATHER,  we  look  to  thee ; 
we  worship  at  thy  footstool ;  we  acknowledge  thee  to 
be  the  author  and  the  giver  of  all  good  things.  We 
thank  thee  for  the  gift  of  thy  Word,  for  the  blessings

ORDINANCE   OF   BAPTISM, 


The  Minister  and  camKdate  standing  near  the  font,  the  service  may  be  com 
menced  by  reading  one  or  more  of  the  following  passages. 

COMFORT  ye,  comfort  ye  my  people, 
Saith  your  GOD. 

Speak  ye  comfortably  to  Jerusalem,  and  cry  unto  her) 
That  her  warfare  is  accomplished, 
That  her  iniquity  is  pardoned : 
For  she  hath  received  of  JEHOVAH'S  hand 
Double  for  all  her  sins. 

The  voice  of  him  that  crieth  in  the  wilderness, 
Prepare  ye  the  way  of  JEHOVAH  ; 
Make  straight  in  the  desert  a  highway  for  our  GOD. 
Every  valley  shall  be  exalted, 
And  every  mountain  and  hill  shall  be  made  low: 
And  the  crooked  shall  be  made  straight, 
And  the  rough  places  plain  : 
And  the  glory  of  JEHOVAH  shall  be  revealed, 
And  all  flesh  shall  see  it  together: 
For  the  mouth  of  JEHOVAH  hath  spoken  it.  —  Is.xl.  1-5. 

BEHOLD,  I  will  send  rny  messenger, 
And  he  shall  prepare  the  way  before  me: 
And  the  LORD,  whom  ye  seek, 
Shall  suddenly  come  to  his  temple, 
Even  the  Messenger  of  the  covenant,  whom  ye  delight 

in  : 

Behold,  he  shall  come,  saitli  JKHOVAH  of  hosts. 
But  who  may  abide  the  day  of  his  coming? 


48  BAPTISM. 

And  who  shall  stand  when  he  appeared]  ? 

For  he  is  like  a  refiner's  fire,  and  like  fuller's  soap. 

And  he  shall  sit  as  a  refiner  and  purifier  of  silver: 

And  he  shall  purify  the  sons  of  Levi, 

And  purge  them  as  gold  and  silver, 

That  they  may  offer  unto  JEHOVAH 

An  offering  in  righteousness. 

Then  shall  the  offering  of  Judah  and  Jerusalem 

Be  pleasant  unto  JEHOVAH, 

As  in  the  days  of  old, 

And  as  in  former  years.  —  Mai.  iii.  1-4. 

IN  those  days  came  John  the  Baptist,  preaching  in 
the  wilderness  of  Judaea,  and  saying,  Repent  ye :  for 
the  kingdom  of  heaven  is  at  hand.  For  this  is  he  that 
was  spoken  of  by  the  prophet  Esaias,  saying,  The 
voice  of  one  crying  in  the  wilderness,  Prepare  ye  the 
way  of  the  LORD,  make  his  paths  straight. 

And  the  same  John  had  his  raiment  of  camel's  hair, 
and  a  leathern  girdle  about  his  loins;  and  his  meat 
was  locusts  and  wild  honey. 

Then  went  out  to  him  Jerusalem,  and  all  Judaea, 
and  all  the  region  round  about  the  Jordan,  and  were 
baptized  of  him  in  the  Jordan,  confessing  their  sins. 
But  when  he  saw  many  of  the  Pharisees  and  Saddu- 
v  ees  come  to  his  baptism,  he  said  unto  them,  O  gene- 
ration of  vipers,  who  hath  warned  you  to  flee  from 
the  wrath  to  come  ?  Bring  forth  therefore  fruits  meet 
for  repentance :  and  think  not  to  say  within  your- 
selves, We  have  Abraham  frr  father:  for  I  say  unto 
you,  that  GOD  is  able  of  these  stones  to  raise  up  child- 
ren unto  Abraham.  And  now  also  the  axe  is  laid 
unto  the  root  of  the  trees  :  therefore  every  tree  whirli 
bringeth  not  forth  good  fruit,  is  hewn  down,  and  cast 
into  the  fire.  I  indeed  baptize  you  with  water  unto 
repentance ;  but.  he  that  cometh  after  me  is  mightier 
than  I,  whose  shoes  I  am  not  worthy  to  bear:  he  shall 
baptize  you  with  the  Holy  Spirit,  and  with  fire  :  whose 
fan  is  in  his  hand,  and  he  will  thoroughly  purge  his 
floor,  and  gather  his  wheat  into  the  garner;  but  he 
will  burn  up  the  chaff  with  unquenchable  fire. 


BAPTISM.  49 

Then  cometh  JESUS  from  Galilee  to  the  Jordan  unto 
John,  to  be  baptized  of  him.  But  John  forbade  him, 
saying,  I  have  need  to  be  baptized  of  thee,  and  comest 
thou  to  me  ?  And  JESUS  answering  said  unto  him, 
Suffer  it  to  be  so  now;  for  thus  it  becometh  us  to 
fulfil  all  righteousness.  Then  he  suffered  him.  And 
JESUS,  when  he  was  baptized,  went  up  straightway 
out  of  the  water :  and,  lo,  the  heavens  were  opened 
unto  him,  and  he  saw  the  Spirit  of  GOD  descending 
like  a  dove,  and  lighting  upon  him :  and  lo  a  voice 
from  heaven,  saying,  This  is  my  beloved  SON,  in  whom 
I  am  well  pleased. —  Mat.  iii. 

THERE  was  a  man  of  the  Pharisees,  named  Nicode- 
mus,  a  ruler  of  the  Jews:  the  same  came  to  JESUS  by 
night,  and  said  unto  him,  Rabbi,  we  know  that  thou 
art  a  teacher  come  from  GOD:  for  no  one  can  do 
these  miracles  that  thou  doest,  except  GOD  be  with 
him. 

JESUS  answered  and  said  unto  him,  Verily,  verily,  I 
fay  unto  thee,  Except  a  man  be  born  again,  he  cannot 
see  the  kingdom  of  GOD. 

Nicodemus  saith  unto  him,  How  can  a  man  be  born 
when  he  is  old  ?  can  he  enter  the  second  time  into  his 
mother's  womb,  and  be  born  ? 

JESUS  answered,  Verily,  verily,  I  say  unto  thee,  ex- 
cept a  man  be  born  of  water  and  of  the  Spirit,  he 
cannot  enter  into  the  kingdom  of  GOD.  That  which 
is  born  of  the  flesh  is  flesh  ;  and  that  which  is  born  of 
the  Spirit  is  spirit.  Marvel  not  that  I  said  unto  thee, 
Ye  must  be  born  again.  The  wind  bloweth  where  it 
listeth,  and  thou  hearest  the  sound  thereof,  but  canst 
not  tell  whence  it  cometh,  arid  whither  it  goeth  :  so 
is  every  one  that  is  born  of  the  Spirit.  —  John  iii.  1-8. 

AND  they  brought  young  children  to  him,  that  he 
should  touch  them:  and  the  disciples  rebuked  those 
that  brought  them.  But  when  JESUS  saw  it,  he  was 
much  displeased,  and  said  unto  them,  Suffer  the  little 
children  to  come  unto  me,  and  forbid  them  not:  for 
of  such  is  the  kingdom  of  GOD.  Verily  I  say  unto 


50  BAPTISM. 

you,  Whosoever  shall  not  receive  the  kingdom  of  GOD 
as  a  little  child,  he  shall  not  enter  therein.  And  he 
took  them  up  in  his  arms,  put  his  hands  upon  them, 
and  blessed  them.  —  Mark  x.  13-16. 

AND  JESUS  came  and  spake  unto  them,  saying,  All 
power  is  given  unto  me  in  heaven  and  in  earth.  Go 
ye  therefore,  and  make  disciples  of  all  nations;  bap- 
tizing them  into  the  name  of  the  FATHER,  and  of  the 
SON,  and  of  the  HOLY  SPIRIT;  teaching  them  to  ob- 
serve all  things  whatsoever  1  have  commanded  you : 
and  lo,  I  am  with  you  all  the  days,  until  the  consum- 
mation of  the  age.  Amen.  —  Mat.  xxviii.  18  -  20. 


Then  may  be  read  the  whole  or  a  part  of  the  following 
EXTRACTS   FROM   THE   DOCTRINES   OF   THE   NEW   CHURCH. 

"  The  ordinance  of  baptism  is  intended  as  a  sign 
that  the  person  baptized  belongs  to  the  church,  and 
for  a  memorial  that  he  is  to  be  regenerated :  for  the 
washing  of  baptism  signifies  nothing  else  than  spirit- 
ual washing,  which  is  regeneration. 

"All  regeneration  is  effected  by  the  LORD,  through 
the  instrumentality  of  the  truths  of  faith,  and  of  a  life 
in  accordance  with  them.  Baptism,  therefore,  is  a 
testification  that  the  person  baptized  belongs  to  the 
church,  and  is  capable  of  being  regenerated:  for  it  is 
in  the  church  that  the  LORD,  who  alone  regenerates 
man,  is  acknowledged  ;  and  there  also  is  the  Word, 
which  contains  the  truths  of  faith  by  which  regenera- 
tion is  effected.  These  truths  the  LORD  teaches  in 
John :  "  Except  a  man  be  born  of  water  and  of  the 
Spirit,  he  cannot  enter  into  the  kingdom  of  GOD."  — 
iii.  5.  Water,  in  the  spiritual  sense,  here  signifies  the 
truth  of  faith  derived  from  the  Word;  the  Spirit,  a 
life  according  to  that  truth  ;  and  being  born,  being  re- 
generated thereby. 


BAPTISM.  51. 

"  Since  every  one  who  is  regenerated  also  under- 
goes temptations,  which  are  spiritual  combats  against 
evils  and  falsities,  the  water  used  in  baptism  likewise 
signifies  those  temptations. 

"As  baptism  is  appointed  a  sign  and  memorial  of 
those  things,  man  may  be  baptized  as  an  infant ;  and 
if  he  has  not  been  baptized  in  his  infancy,  he  may  be 
baptized  as  an  adult. 

"  Let  those,  therefore,  who  are  baptized,  remember, 
that  baptism  itself  confers  neither  faith  nor  salvation, 
but  merely  testifies  that  they  will  receive  faith,  and 
be  saved,  if  they  are  regenerated. 

["  Hence  may  be  seen  the  import  of  the  LORD'S  words 
in  Mark  :  "  He  that  believeth,  and  is  baptized,  shall 
be  saved ;  but  he  that  believeth  not,  shall  be  con- 
demned."—  xvi.  16.  Here  to  believe  signifies  to  ac- 
knowledge the  LORD,  and  to  receive  divine  truths 
from  him  by  means  of  the  Word ;  and  to  be  baptized 
is  to  be  regenerated  by  the  LORD  by  means  of  those 
truths.]  "  —  H.  D.  202  -  208. 

["  The  First  Use  of  baptism  is,  introduction  into 
the  Christian  Church,  and  at  the  same  time  insertion 
among  Christians  in  the  spiritual  world."  —  T.  C.  R. 
677. 

"  The  Second  Use  of  baptism  is,  that  the  Christian 
may  know  and  acknowledge  the  LORD  JESUS  CHRIST 
the  Redeemer  and  Savior,  and  follow  Him. —  T.  C. 
R.  681. 

"  The  Third  Use  of  baptism  is,  that  man  may  be 
regenerated.—  T.  C.  R.  684. 

u  Since  these  three  uses  follow  in  order,  and  join 
themselves  together  in  the  last,  and  thus,  in  the  idea 
of  the  angels,  cohere  as  one  ;  therefore,  when  baptism 
is  performed,  read  in  the  Word,  and  named,  the  an- 
geh  who  are  present  do  not  understand  baptism,  but 
regeneration.  —  T.  C.  R.  685.] 

["The  baptism  of  John  represented  the  cleansing  of 
the  external  man;  but  the  baptism  which  is  at  this 
day  with  Christians,  represents  the  cleansing  of  the 
internal  man,  which  is  regeneration. —  T.  C.  R.  690. 
By  means  of  the  baptism  of  John,  a  way  was  pre« 


52  BAPTISM. 

pared,  that  JEHOVAH  the  LORD  might  be  able  to  come 
down  into  the  world,  and  perform  redemption. —  T, 
C.  R.  688.  The  reason  why  a  way  was  prepared  by 
the  baptism  of  John  was,  because,  by  means  of  that, 
they  were  introduced  into  the  future  church  of  the 
LORD,  and  in  heaven  were  inserted  among  those  there 
who  expected  and  desired  the  Messiah,  and  thus  were 
guarded  by  angels,  so  that  devils  from  hell  might  not 
break  forth  and  destroy  them."]  —  T.  C.  R.  689. 

"As  soon  as  infants  are  baptized,  angels  are  ap- 
pointed over  them  by  the  LORD,  to  take  care  of  them ; 
by  whom  they  are  kept  in  a  state  of  receiving  faith  in 
the  LORD  :  and  as  they  grow  up,  and  come  to  the  ex- 
ercise of  their  own  right  and  their  own  reason,  the 
guardian  angels  leave  them,  and  they  associate  to 
themselves  such  spirits  as  make  one  with  their  life 
and  faith.— T.  C.  R.  677. 

"  That  not  only  infants,  but  also  all,  are  inserted  by 
baptism  among  Christians  in  the  spiritual  world,  is 
because  people  and  nations  in  that  world  are  distin- 
guished according  to  their  religions.  Moreover,  all 
of  the  same  religion  are  arranged  into  societies  in 
heaven,  according  to  the  affections  of  love  to  GOD  and 
love  towards  the  neighbor.  In  the  spiritual  world,  by 
which  is  meant  both  heaven  and  hell,  all  things  are 
most  distinctly  arranged,  in  the  whole  and  in  every 
part,  or  in  general  and  in  every  particular.  On  this 
distinct  arrangement  there,  the  preservation  of  the 
whole  universe  depends ;  and  this  distinction  cannot 
be  effected,  unless  every  one,  after  he  is  born,  be 
known  by  some  sign,  indicating  to  what  religious 
assembly  he  belongs;  for,  without  the  Christian  sign, 
which  is  baptism,  some  Mahometan  spirit,  or  some 
one  of  the  idolaters,  might  apply  himself  to  Christian 
infants  newly  born,  and  also  to  children,  and  infuse 
into  them  an  inclination  for  his  religion,  and  thus 
draw  away  their  mind,  and  alienate  them  from  Christ- 
ianity ;  which  would  be  to  distort  and  destroy  spirit- 
ual order."— T.  C.  R.  678. 

"  Thus  baptism  signifies  initiation  into  the  church, 
and  into  those  things  which  are  of  the  church;  thus 


BAPTISM.  53 

it  signifies  regeneration,  and  those  things  which  are 
of  regeneration :  not  that  by  baptism  any  one  is  re- 
generated, but  that  it  is  a  sign  of  it,  which  he  should 
remember." — A.  C.  4255. 


Then  the  Minister  may  read  the  whole  or  a  part  of  the  following 
INSTRUCTION. 

The  divine  ordinance  of  Baptism  is  designed  to 
promote  the  regeneration  and  salvation  of  men.  It 
is  one  of  the  means  by  which  we  may  be  protected 
from  evil  influences,  and  prepared  to  receive  the  good 
influences  of  the  LORD  and  his  angels. 

This  ordinance  has  a  spiritual  signification,  and 
denotes  the  cleansing  of  the  mind.  For  as  water  is 
the  means  of  cleansing  the  body,  so  truth  is  the  means 
of  cleansing  the  mind.  Hence  water  corresponds  to 
and  denotes  truth  ;  that  is,  such  instruction  concern- 
ing our  duty  as  we  find  in  the  literal  sense  of  the 
Sacred  Scriptures,  and  particularly  in  the  Ten  Com- 
mandments. And  the  application  of  water  to  the 
body  corresponds  to  and  denotes  the  work  of  purify- 
ing the  mind  by  obeying  and  conforming  to  the  truth. 
And  while  merely  natural  men  see  nothing  but  the 
natural  sign,  and  understand  the  ordinance  only  ac- 
cording to  its  natural  sense,  spiritual  men,  and  the 
angels  who  are  associated  with  them,  perceive  the 
things  which  are  signified,  and  so  understand  the  or- 
dinance in  its  spiritual  sense.  Consequently,  when 
we  are  administering  or  receiving  this  ordinance,  a 
union  is  effected  between  us  and  the  angels,  between 
our  feelings  and  their  feelings,  between  our  thoughts 
and  their  thoughts,  and  between  our  efforts  and  their 
efforts :  thus  they  unite  with  us  in  this  sacred  ordi- 
nance, as  they  afterwards  unite  in  performing  the 
spiritual  work  which  is  represented  by  it. 

When  we  know  that  baptism  denotes  the  purifica- 
tion of  the  mind  and  life,  we  can  see  why  it  is  made, 
to  be  the  sign  of  introduction  into  the  church;  for  it 
5* 


54  BAPTISM. 

represents  the  whole  work  by  which  a  man  becomes 
a  true  member  of  the  church. 

From  the  spiritual  signification  of  baptism,  we 
can  see  the  duty  of  all  who  have  any  thing  to  do  in 
relation  to  it  —  the  duty  of  the  church,  the  duty  of 
parents  and  guardians,  and  the  duty  of  all  who  re- 
ceive it. 

When  the  ordinance  is  administered,  it  is  the  duly 
of  the  members  of  the  church  to  desire  and  to  pray 
that  those  who  receive  it  may  receive  that  which  is 
denoted  by  it ;  and  it  is  afterwards  their  duty  to  do 
all  that  they  can  to  promote  that  object. 

When  parents  and  guardians  present  for  baptism 
the  children  that  have  been  committed  to  their  care, 
they  ought  to  desire  and  pray  that  they  rnay  be  spi- 
ritually baptized;  that  when  they  come  to  the  age 
of  freedom  and  rationality,  they  may  be  regenerated, 
and  thus  prepared  for  the  LORD'S  kingdom :  and  it 
thenceforth  becomes  their  duty  to  endeavor  to  pro- 
mote this  object,  by  withdrawing  them  from  evil  and 
leading  them  to  good,  by  implanting  true  ideas  and 
cherishing  good  affections  in  their  minds,  and  by 
causing  them  to  know  and  acknowledge  that  every 
thing  good  and  true  in  them  cometh  down  from  Him 
who  alone  is  good  and  true  —  from  the  Source  of  their 
spiritual  life  —  from  their  FATHER  who  is  in  heaven. 
And  this  duty  of  parents  and  guardians  continues 
until  their  children  come  to  maturity,  and  are  thus 
transformed  into  brothers,  and  sisters,  and  friends. 

And  as  children  become  able  to  understand,  it  is 
their  duty  to  listen  and  conform  to  the  instruction 
which  is  given  to  them,  to  love  and  to  honor  their 
parents  and  teachers,  and  to  look  up  through  them  to 
the  LORD,  who  is  over  all. 

But  there  are  some  who  are  not  baptized,  until  they 
come  to  maturity,  and  are  able  to  understand  the  na- 
ture of  the  ordinance.  When  they  become  sensible 
of  their  evils  and  impurities,  and  desire  to  be  cleansed 
and  delivered  from  them,  then  it  is  proper  for  them  to 
be  baptized:  for  baptism  represents  the  purification 
of  the  mind;  and  in  coming  forward  to  be  baptized, 


BAPTISM.  55 

they  express  the  desire  that  they  may  have  this  spirit- 
ual work  done  in  them,  and  also  the  desire  that  the) 
may  become  associated  with  those  in  the  spiritual 
world  and  in  the  natural  world,  who  will  aid  them  in 
performing  the  work 

And  when  they  desire  to  gain  more  knowledge  of 
the  LORD,  of  his  Word,  and  of  his  kingdom,  and  more 
knowledge  of  their  duty  in  relation  to  him  and  to  one 
another,  then  it  is  proper  for  them  to  be  baptized ;  fot 
baptism  is  the  means  which  the  LORD  has  appointed 
for  introducing  them  to  angels  of  heaven,  and  to 
members  of  the  church  upon  earth,  who  will  commu- 
nicate unto  them  their  views  and  feelings,  who  will 
assist  them  by  their  experience,  who  will  aid  them  in 
understanding  the  things  which  have  been  revealed 
to  them  —  in  perceiving  their  goodness,  as  well  as 
their  truth  — and  will  thus  aid  them  in  bringing  them 
into  the  life. 


Here  the  Minister  may  read  the  following 
DOCTRINES   OF  THE  NEW   CHURCH. 

1.  THAT  there  is  one  GOD:  that  in  him  is  a  Divine 
Trinity  called   the  FATHER,  the  SON,  and  the  HOLY 
SPIRIT  :  that  these  three  are  distinct,  and  at  the  same 
time  united   in   him,  as   the   soul,  the   body,  and  the 
operation  are  in  man  :  and   that  the  one  GOD  is  the 
LORD  JKSUS  CHRIST. 

2.  That  saving  faith   is   to   believe   in  him  as  the 
Redeemer,  Regenerator,  and  Savior  from  sin. 

3.  That  the  Sacred  Scripture  is  Divine  Truth  :  that 
it  is  revealed  to  us  as  a  means  by  which  we  may  dis- 
tinguish between  good  and  evil ;  by  which  we  may 
be  delivered  from  the  influence  of  evil  spirits;  and  by 
which  we   may  become   associated  with    angels,  and 
conjoined  with  the  LORD. 

4.  That  we  must  abstain  from  doing  evil,  because 
it  is  of  the  devil  and  from  the  devil :  and  that  we  must 
do  good,  because  it  is  of  GOD  and  from  Gon. 


56  BAPTISM. 

5.  That  in  abstaining  from  evil  and  in  doing  good 
we  are  to  act  as  of  ourselves ;  but  we  must  at  the 
same  time  believe  and  acknowledge  that  the  will, 
the  understanding,  and  the  power  to  do  so,  are.  of  the 
LOUD  alone. 


Here  the  Minister  ruay  address  the  adult  candidate  in  the  following  manner. 

Min.  You  have  been  instructed  in  the  signification 
and  use  of  the  sacred  ordinance  of  Baptism,  and  you 
have  heard  what  are  the  doctrines  of  the  New  Church  : 
Do  you  now  desire  to  come  into  a  more  full  know- 
ledge and  acknowledgment  of  these  doctrines,  and 
to  Jive  according  to  them ;  that  through  faith  in  the 
LORD,  and  obedience  to  his  commandments,  you  may 
receive  that  internal  and  spiritual  baptism,  which  the 
outward  ordinance  represents  ?  and  for  this  end  do 
you  desire,  to  be  introduced  into  the  LORD'S  New 
Church  by  the  ordinance  of  baptism  ? 

Answer :  —  I  do. 


When  adults  are  to  be  baptized,  who  have  beeu  adequately  instructed  in 
the  doctrines  of  the  New  Church,  and  have  given  satisfactory  evidence  of 
having  entered  upon  a  corresponding  life,  the  following  (juestions  may  be 
used  instead  of  the  above.  In  the  case  of  such  persons  it  is  not  expected 
that  the  Confirmation  Service  will  be  used. 

Min.  You  have  been  instructed  in  the  significa- 
tion and  use  of  the  sacred  ordinance  of  Baptism,  and 
you  have  heard  what  are  the  doctrines  of  the  New 
Church :  Do  you  now  declare  your  belief  and  ac- 
knowledgment of  those  doctrines,  and  by  the  divine 
mercy  of  the  LORD  are  you  endeavoring  to  live  accord- 
ins:  to  them;  that  through  faith  in  him.  and  obe- 

O  '  O  ' 

dience  to  his  commandments,  you  may  receive  that 
internal  and  spiritual  baptism,  which  the  outward  or- 
dinance represents  ?  and  for  this  end  do  you  desire  to 
be  introduced  into  the  LORD'S  New  Church  by  the 
ordinance  of  Baptism  ? 
Answer :  —  I  do. 


BAPTISM.  57 

When  infants  or  children  are  to  be  baptized,  the  Minister  may  say  to  tho 
parents  or  guardians : 

Min.  You  have  now  been  instructed  in  the  signi- 
fication and  use  of  the  sacred  ordinance  of  Baptism, 
and  you  have  heard  what  are  the  doctrines  of  the 
New  Church  :  Do  you  desire  and  intend  to  have  this 
child  brought  up  in  the  knowledge  and  acknowledg- 
ment of  these  doctrines,  and  in  a  life  according  to 
them ;  that  through  faith  in  the  LORD,  and  obedience 
to  him,  he  may  receive  that  internal  and  spiritual 
baptism,  which  the  outward  ordinance  represents? 
and  for  this  end  do  you  desire  to  have  him  baptized 
into  the  LORD'S  New  Church  ? 

Answer :  —  I  do. 

Here  may  be  used  the  following  prayer,  or  the  LORD'S  Prayer,  or  both. 

MOST  merciful  LORD,  who  dost  baptize  with  the 
Holy  Spirit  and  with  fire,  and  who  dost  invite  all 
men  to  come  unto  thee,  that  they  may  be  made  heirs 
of  thine  eternal  kingdom ;  bless,  we  pray  thee,  the 
administration  of  thy  holy  ordinance  ;  graciously  re- 
ceive this  person  [or  this  child,  or  these,  &c.,]  now 
about  to  be  baptized, into  thy  True  Christian  Church  ; 
insert  him  as  to  spirit  among  Christians  in  the  spirit- 
ual world,  and  thus  embrace  him  within  the  arms  of 
thy  divine  protection,  [and  thereby  preserve  him  in  a 
state  to  receive  faith  in  thee,]  and  bestow  on  him  the 
blessings  of  thy  Holy  Spirit.  Being  enrolled  by  bap- 
tism in  the  number  of  those  who  acknowledge  thee 
to  be  the  only  GOD  of  heaven  and  earth,  the  Redeemer 
and  Savior  of  mankind,  may  he  henceforth  deny 
himself,  and  take  up  his  cross,  and  follow  thee.  [  As 
he  grows  in  stature]  May  he  grow  in  the  knowledge 
and  love  of  thee,  and  of  thy  kingdom.  May  he  re- 
nounce the  evils  of  self-love  and  the  love  of  the  world, 
engage  victoriously  in  the  spiritual  conflicts  necessary 
for  his  purification,  and  live  a  life  devoted  to  thy  will. 
So  may  he.  be  cleansed  from  the  impurities  of  his  na- 
ture, be  established  in  love  to  thee  and  charity  to- 
wards his  neighbor,  and  finally  be  raised  into  thy 
heavenly  kingdom.  Amen. 


58  BAPTISM. 

OUR  FATHER,  who  art  in  the  heavens ;  Hallowed  be 
thy  name.  Thy  kingdom  come.  Thy  will  be  done, 
a?  in  heaven,  so  also  upon  the  earth.  Give  us  this 
day  our  daily  bread.  And  forgive  us  our  debts,  as 
we  also  forgive  our  debtors.  And  lead  us  not  into 
temptation;  but  deliver  us  from  evil.  For  thine  is 
the  kingdom,  and  the  power,  and  the  glory,  for  ever. 
Amen. 


Then  the  Minister,  naming  the  person  to  be  baptized,  and  applying  the 
water  to  his  forehead,  shall  say : 

A    T>        (  Thou  art  her.eby  baptized  )       .  , 
A.  rJ.      {  /    \  7  t      ,•      ,,  >      into 

(  (or)  1  baptize  thee  } 

the  name  of  the  FATHER,  and  of  the  SON,  and  of  the 
HOLY  SPIRIT  :     Amen. 

JEHOVAH  bless  thee,  and  keep  thee:  JEHOVAH  make 
his  face  to  shine  upon  thee,  and  be  gracious  unto 
thee :  JEHOVAH  lift  up  his  countenance  upon  thee, 
and  give  thee  peace. 


Then  taking  the  person  by  the  right  hand,  the  Minister  may  say: 

We  receive  this  person,  [or  this  child,]  now  bap- 
tized with  water,  into  the  LORD'S  Church  on  earth; 
to  the  end  that  by  the  baptism  of  repentance  and  re- 
generation, he  may  finally  be  received  into  the  LORD'S 
kingdom  in  heaven. 


The  Minister  may  then  use  the  following  Exhortation. 
TO    ADULTS. 

You  have  now  been  admitted  by  baptism  into  Ihe 
True  Christian  Church,  and  have  taken  the  name  of 
a  Christian  of  the  New  Jerusalem.  This  is  the  first 
use  of  baptism.  But  there  must  be  a  knowledge  and 
acknowledgment  of  the  LORD,  into  whose  name  you 
have  been  baptized,  together  with  faith  and  obedi- 
ence, as  a  means  of  becoming  regenerated.  It  is  the 


BAPTISM.  59 

LORD'S  will  that  these  more  essential  uses  shall  follow. 
But  this  must  depend  upon  the  quality  of  your  future 
life.  Cultivate,  therefore,  with  all  diligence,  an  ac- 
quaintance with  the  Holy  Word,  and  with  the  hea- 
venly doctrines  of  the  New  Jerusalem.  Shun  all 
evils  as  sins  against  GOD.  Renounce  the  love  of  self 
and  the  world,  and  learn  to  love  the  LORD  with  all 
your  heart,  and  your  neighbor  as  yourself.  Thus  will 
you  become  useful  and  happy  in  this  life,  and  attain 
to  an  eternal  inheritance  in  the  kingdom  of  heaven. 

TO    THE    PARENTS   AND    GUARDIANS   OF    CHILDREN. 

To  you  as  his  earthly  parents  the  care  of  this  child 
is  committed  by  his  FATHKR  in  heaven.  Be  faithful, 
therefore,  to  the  trust.  It  is  the  will  of  the  LORD  that 
this  child  shall  be  trained  for  heaven  ;  and  he  has  ap- 
pointed you  to  the  discharge  of  this  sacred  duty. 
Endeavor  to  educate  him  with  continual  reference  to 
the  end  for  which  he  was  created.  Form  aright  his 
mind  and  life,  while  under  your  immediate  control: 
"  For  what  doth  it  profit  a  man,  if  he  gain  the  whole 
world,  and  lose  his  own  soul  ?  "  Let  him  be  initiated 
into  the  worship  and  acknowledgment  of  the  LORD, 
according  to  the  Heavenly  Doctrines  of  the  New  Jeru- 
salem. Let  him  learn  by  heart  the  LORD'S  Prayer,  the 
Ten  Commandments,  and  the  "  Doctrines  of  the  New 
Church."  Teach  him  to  shun  all  evils  as  sins  against 
GOD,  and  to  love  the  LORD  with  all  his  heart,  and  his 
neighbor  as  himself.  Thus  will  he  be  prepared  for  a 
useful  and  happy  life  in  this  world  and  for  eternal 
usefulness  and  happiness  in  heaven. 

Instead  ot  the  above  exhortation,  or  after  it,  one  or  more  of  the  following 
passages  from  the  Word  may  be  read. 

JOHN  did  baptize  in  the  wilderness,  and  preach  the 

baptism  of  repentance  for  the  remission  of  sins 

And  he  preached,  saying,  There  cometh  one  mightier 
than  1  alter  me,  the  latchet  of  whose  shoes  I  am  not 
worthy  to  stoop  down  and  unloose.  J  indeed  have 
baptized  you  with  water ;  but  he  shall  baptize  you 
with  the  Holy  Spirit.  —  Mark  i.  4,  7,  8. 


60  BAPTISM. 

JESUS  answered,  Verily,  verily,  I  say  unto  thee,  Ex- 
cept  a  man  be  born  of  water  and  of  the  Spirit,  he 
cannot  enter  into  the  kingdom  of  GOD.  That  which 
is  born  of  the  flesh  is  flesh ;  and  that  which  is  born  of 
the  Spirit  is  spirit.  Marvel  not  that  I  said  unto  thee, 
Ye  must  be  born  again.  —  John  iii.  5-7. 

NOT  every  one  that  saith  unto  me,  LORD,  LOUD, 
shall  enter  into  the  kingdom  of  heaven  ;  but  he  that 
doeth  the  will  of  my  FATHER  who  is  in  heaven. — 
Mat.  vii.  21. 

IF  any  one  will  come  after  me,  let  him  deny  him- 
self, and  take  up  his  cross,  and  follow  me.  For  who- 
soever will  save  his  life,  shall  lose  it:  and  whosoever 
will  lose  his  life  for  my  sake,  shall  find  it. —  Mat.  xvi. 
24,  25. 

I  am  the  good  shepherd,  and  know  my  sheep,  and 
am  known  of  mine.  As  the  FATHER  knoweth  me, 
even  so  know  I  the  FATHER:  and  I  lay  down  my  life 
for  the  sheep.  And  other  sheep  I  have,  which  are  not 
of  this  fold:  them  also  1  must  bring,  and  they  shall 
hear  my  voice;  and  there  shall  be  one  fold,  one  shep- 
herd. Therefore  doth  my  FATHER  love  me,  because  I 
lay  down  rny  life,  that  I  might  take  it  again.  No 
one  taketh  it  from  me,  but  I  lay  it  down  of  myself. 
I  have  power  to  lay  it  down,  and  I  have  power  to 
take  it  again.  This  commandment  have  1  received 
of  my  FATHER.  —  John  x.  14-18. 

MY  sheep  hear  my  voice,  and  1  know  them,  and 
they  follow  me:  and  1  give  unto  them  eternal  _ife; 
and  they  shall  never  perish,  neither  shall  any  one 
pluck  them  out  of  my  hand.  My  FATHER,  who  gave 
them  rne,  is  greater  than  all;  and  no  one  is  able  to 
pluck  them  out  of  my  FATHER'S  hand.  1  and  the 
FATHER  are  one.  —  John  x.  27-30. 

AND,  behold,  one  came  and  said  unto  him,  Good 
Master,  what  good  thing  shall  I  do,  that  I  may  have 


BAPTISM.  61 

eternal  life  ?     And  he  said  unto  him, If  thou 

wilt  enter  into  life,  keep  the  commandments.  —  Mat. 
xix.  16,  17. 

THE  first  of  all  the  commandments  is,  Hear,  O  Is- 
rael; the  LORD  our  GOD  is  one  LORD:  And  thou 
shalt  love  the  LORD  thy  GOD  with  all  thy  heart,  and 
with  all  thy  soul,  and  with  all  thy  mind,  and  with  all 
thy  strength.  This  is  the  first  commandment.  And 
the  second  is  like  unto  it:  Thou  shalt  love  thy  neigh- 
bor as  thyself.  There  is  none  other  commandment 
greater  than  these. —  Mark  xii.  29  —  31. 

THEREFORE  all  things  whatsoever  ye  would  that 
men  should  do  to  you,  do  ye  even  so  to  them :  for  this 
is  the  law  and  the  prophets.  —  Mat.  vii.  12. 

AND  these  words,  which  I  command  thee,  shall  be 
in  thine  heart :  and  thou  shalt  teach  them  diligently 
unto  thy  children  ;  and  shalt  talk  of  them  when  thou 
sittest  in  thine  house,  and  when  thou  walkest  by  the 
way,  and  when  thou  liest  down,  and  when  thou  risest 
up.  —  Deut.  vi.  6.  7. 


Here  a  suitable  Selection,  or  Hymn,  may  be  sung,  if  convenient. 


BENEDICTION. 

The  grace  of  our  LORD  JESUS  CHRIST  be  with  you 
all :     Amen. 


CONFIRMATION. 


[There  are  two  Sacraments  in  the  church,  Baptism,  and  the 
Holy  Supper.  Baptism  represents  the  removal  of  evils  and  falsi- 
ties by  means  of  truth ;  and  the  Holy  Supper  represents  the  recep- 
tion of  goods  and  truths  from  the  LORD.  Besides  these  there  are 
no  divinely  appointed  Sacraments. 

It  is  proper,  however,  that  those  persons  who  were  baptized  in 
infancy  or  childhood,  should,  when  they  come  to  adult  age  —  and 
those  adults  who  are  baptized  before  they  come  to  a  full  knowledge 
and  acknowledgment  of  the  doctrines  of  the  New  Jerusalem,  should, 
after  a  suitable  time,  make  a  full  acknowledgment  of  the  doctrines, 
and  of  their  desire  and  effort  to  live  according  to  them.  For  this 
purpose  the  following  service  is  prepared.] 


The  Minister  may  commence  the  service  by  reading  one  or  more  of  the 
following  passages. 

THERE  was  a  man  sent  from  GOD,  whose  name  was 
John.  The  same  came  for  a  witness,  to  bear  witness 
of  the  Light,  that  all  through  him  might  believe.  He 
was  not  that  Light,  but  was  sent  to  bear  witness  of 
that  Light.  That  was  the  true  Light,  which  enlight- 
eneth  every  man  that  cometh  into  the  world.  He 
was  in  the  world,  and  the  world  was  made  by  him, 
and  the  world  knew  him  not.  He  came  unto  his  own, 
and  his  own  received  him  not.  But  as  many  as  re- 
ceived him,  to  them  gave  he  power  to  become  child- 
ren of  GOD,  even  to  them  that  believe  on  his  name: 
Who  were  born,  not  of  blood,  nor  of  the  will  of  the 
flesh,  nor  of  the  will  of  man,  but  of  GOD.  —  John  i, 
6-13. 


CONFIRMATION.  63 

JESUS  answered,  Verily,  verily,  I  say  unto  thee,  Ex- 
cept a  man  be  born  of  water  and  of  the  Spirit,  he 
cannot  enter  into  the  kingdom  of  GOD.  That  which 
is  born  of  the  flesh  is  flesh ;  and  that  which  is  born  of 
the  Spirit  is  spirit.  Marvel  not  that  I  said  unto  thee, 
Ye  must  be  born  again.  The  wind  bloweth  where  it 
listeth,  and  thou  hearest  the  sound  thereof;  but  canst 
not  tell  whence  it  cometh,  and  whither  it  goeth  :  so  is 
every  one  that  is  born  of  the  Spirit. — John  iii.  5-8. 

VERILY,  verily,  I  say  unto  you,  I  am  the  door  of 
the  sheep.  All  that  ever  came  before  me  are  thieves 
and  robbers :  but  the  sheep  did  not  hear  them.  I  am 
the  door :  by  me  if  any  one  enter  in,  he  shall  be  saved, 
and  shall  go  in  and  out,  and  find  pasture.  The  thief 
cometh  not,  but  for  to  steal,  and  to  kill,  and  to  de- 
stroy :  I  am  come  that  they  might  have  life,  and  that 
they  might  have  it  more  abundantly.  I  am  the  good 
shepherd:  the  good  shepherd  giveth  his  life  for  the 
sheep.  —  John  x.  7  —  11. 

I  am  the  good  shepherd,  and  know  my  sheep,  and 
am  known  of  mine.  As  the  FATHER  knoweth  me, 
even  so  know  I  the  FATHER:  and  I  lay  down  my  life 
for  the  sheep.  And  other  sheep  I  have,  which  are  not 
of  this  fold:  them  also  I  must  bring,  and  they  shall 
hear  my  voice ;  and  there  shall  be  one  fold,  one  shep- 
herd. Therefore  doth  my  FATHER  love  me,  because  I 
lay  down  rny  life,  that  I  might  take  it  again.  No  one 
taketh  it  from  me,  but  I  lay  it  down  of  myself.  I 
have  power  to  lay  it  down,  and  I  have  power  to  take 
it  again.  This  commandment  have  I  received  of  my 
FATHER.  —  John  x.  14-18. 

MY  sheep  hear  my  voice,  and  I  know  them,  and 
they  follow  me  :  and  I  give  unto  them  eternal  life ; 
and  they  shall  never  perish,  neither  shall  any  one 
pluck  them  out  of  my  hand.  My  FATHER,  who  gave 
them  rne,  is  greater  than  all ;  and  no  one  is  able  to 
pluck  them  out  of  rny  FATHER'S  hand.  I  and  the 
FATHER  arc  one.  —  John  x.  27-30. 


64  CONFIRMATION. 

I  am  the  way,  the  truth,  and  the  life :  no  one  com« 
eth  unto  the  FATHER  but  by  me.  If  ye  had  known 
me, ye  would  have  known  my  FATHER  also:  and  from 
henceforth  ye  know  him,  and  have  seen  him.  Philip 
saith  unto  him,  LORD,  show  us  the  FATHER,  and  it  suf- 
ficeth  us.  JESUS  saith  unto  him,  Have  I  been  so  long 
time  with  you,  and  yet  hast  thou  not  known  me, 
Philip?  he  that  hath  seen  me,  hath  seen  the  FATHER; 
and  how  sayest  thou,  Show  us  the  FATHER  ?  Be- 
lievest  thou  not  that  I  am  in  the  FATHER,  and  the 
FATHER  in  me?  The  words  that  I  speak  unto  you  I 
speak  not  of  myself:  but  the  FATHER  that  dwelleih 
in  me,  he  doeth  the  works.  Believe  me,  that  I  am  in 
the  FATHER,  and  the  FATHER  in  me:  or  else  believe 
me  for  the  very  works'  sake.  Verily,  verily,  I  say 
unto  you,  He  that  believeth  on  me,  the  works  that  I 
do  shall  he  do  also :  and  greater  ones  than  these  shall 
he  do,  because  I  go  unto  my  FATHER.  And  whatso- 
ever ye  shall  ask  in  my  name,  that  will  I  do;  that  the 
FATHER  rnay  be  glorified  in  the  SON.  If  ye  shall  ask 
any  thing  in  my  name,  I  will  do  it.  —  John  xiv.  6-14. 

IF  ye  abide  in  me,  and  my  words  abide  in  you,  ye 
shall  ask  what  ye  will,  and  it  shall  be  done  unto  you. 
Herein  is  my  FATHER  glorified,  that  ye  bear  much 
fruit :  so  shall  ye  be  my  disciples.  As  the  FATHER 
hath  loved  me,  so  have  I  loved  you:  continue  ye  in 
my  love.  If  ye  keep  my  commandments,  ye  shall 
abide  in  my  love  ;  even  as  I  have  kept  my  FATHER'S 
commandments,  and  abide  in  his  love.  These  things 
have  I  spoken  unto  you,  that  my  joy  might  remain  in 
you,  and  that  your  joy  might  be  full. — John  xv.  7-11. 

THIS  is  my  commandment,  That  ye  love  cne  ano- 
ther, as  I  have  loved  you.  Greater  love  hath  no  one 
than  this,  that  one  lay  down  his  life  for  his  friends. 
Ye  are  my  friends,  if  ye  do  whatsoever  I  command 
you.  Henceforth  I  call  you  not  servants;  for  the  ser- 
vant knoweth  not  what  his  lord  doeth :  but  I  have 
called  you  friends ;  for  all  things  that  I  have  heard  of 
my  FATHER,  I  have  made  known  unto  you.  Ye  have 


CONFIRMATION.  65 

not  chosen  me,  but  I  have  chosen  you,  and  ordained 
you,  that  ye  should  go  and  bring  forth  fruit,  and  that 
your  fruit  should  remain;  that  whatsoever  ye  shall 
ask  of  the  FATHER  in  my  name,  he  may  give  it  you. 
These  things  I  command  you,  that  ye  love  one  ano- 
ther.—John  xv.  12-17. 


Then  may  be  read  the  following 
INSTRUCTION. 

"  The  two  Sacraments,  Baptism  and  the  Holy 
Supper,  are,  as  it  were,  TWO  GATES  to  eternal  life. 
Every  Christian  man,  by  baptism,  which  is  the  FIRST 
GATE,  is  admitted  and  introduced  into  the  things 
which  the  church  teaches  from  the  Word  concerning 
another  life;  which  all  are  means  by  which  man  may 
be  prepared  for  and  led  to  heaven.  The  OTHER  GATE 
is  the  Holy  Supper,  through  which  every  man,  who 
has  suffered  himself  to  be  prepared  and  led  by  the 
LORD,  is  admitted  and  introduced  into  heaven.  There 
are  no  more  universal  gates. 

"After  the  FIRST  GATE  there  is  a  PLAIN,  over  which 
he  must  run  ;  and  the  other  is  the  GOAL,  where  is  the 
prize,  to  which  he  directed  his  course :  for  the  palm 
is  not  given  till  after  the  contest,  nor  the  reward  till 
after  the  combat  —  T.  C.  R.  721. 

"  These  Sacraments  may  also  be  compared  to  a 
double  temple,  one  of  which  is  below,  and  the  other 
above;  and  in  the  lower  of  which  the  gospel  concern- 
ing the  new  advent  of  the  LORD  is  preached,  and  also 
concerning  regeneration  and  thence  salvation  by  Him. 
From  this  temple,  around  the  altar,  there  is  an  ascent 
into  the  upper  temple,  in  which  the  Holy  Supper  is 
celebrated  ;  and  thence  a  passage  into  heaven,  where 
the  LORD  receives  them. 

"  They  may  also  be  compared  to  the  tabernacle;

the  candlestick  with  the  lamps  lighted,  by  which  all 
those  things  come  into  view;  and  at  length,  for  those 
who  suffer  themselves  to  be  illuminated,  the  veil  is 
opened  to  the  Holy  of  Holies :  where,  in  the  place  of

rubs of  gold."—  T.  C.  R.  669 


ADDRESS   TO    THOSE   WHO    WERE   BAPTIZED   IN   INFANCY   OR 
CHILDHOOD. 

You  were  baptized  in  the  New  Church  during  your 
infancy  [or  childhood].  While  you  were  unable  to 
do  any  thing  for  yourself,  the  LORD  provided  that 
your  parents  [or  guardians]  should  take  care  of  you. 
They  have  been  led  to  do  such  things  as  were  condu- 
cive both  to  your  spiritual  and  your  natural  welfare. 
They  have  taken  care  of  your  body,  and  prepared  you 
for  living  in  this  world ;  and,  at  the  same  time,  they 
have  taken  care  of  your  mind,  and  endeavored  to  pre- 
pare you  to  live  in  the  spiritual  world. 

By  bringing  you  to  the  ordinance  of  baptism  in  the 
New  Church,  they  have  not  only  introduced  you  into 
the  Church,  but  they  have  brought  you  under  the  care 
of  the  angels  of  the  New  Heaven.  These  angels  have 
constantly  attended  upon  you,  and  watched  over  you 
for  your  good.  They  have  endeavored  to  protect  you 
from  evil  influences,  and  to  cause  you  to  receive  good 
influences.  While  the  LORD  has  by  his  Spirit  and 
Providence  caused  your  parents  to  operate  upon  you 
in  a  natural  and  visible  manner,  he  has  led  your  an- 
gels to  operate  upon  you  in  a  spiritual  and  invisible 
manner.  While  he  has  caused  your  parents  to  love 
you,  to  give  you  spiritual  instruction,  and  to  lead  you 
in  the  way  that  you  should  go,  he  has  through  his 
angels  inspired  you  with  a  love  for  your  parents,  and 
a  disposition  to  listen  to  them ;  he  has  given  you  an 
affection  for  the  truths  of  his  Word  and  the  doctrines 
of  his  Church,  and  a  desire  to  live  according  to  them. 

Many,  very  many  things  have  been  done  for  you, 


CONFIRMATION.  67 

while  you  have  been  unable  to  cooperate,  while  you 
did  not  even  know  that  any  one  was  taking  thought 
for  your  welfare,  and  consequently  while  you  did  not 
know  how  much  you  had  to  be  thankful  for.  Others 
labored,  and  ye  have  entered  into  their  labors.  But 
those  who  labored  for  you  are  blessed.  It  is  happi- 
ness to  them  to  see  you  enjoying  the  fruits  of  their 
labors;  and  they  will  be  still  more  blessed,  when  they 
begin  to  see  you  enjoying  the  happiness  of  doing  for 
others  what  they  have  done  for  you. 

But  you  have  been  coming  forward ;  your  faculties 
have  been  gradually  unfolding;  you  have  therefore 
been  able  to  cooperate  more  and  more  with  those  who 
have  been  working  for  you.  You  have  been  able  to 
act  more  and  more  voluntarily,  and  as  of  yourself,  in 
conforming  to  the  instruction  which  you  have  re- 
ceived. We  trust  that  you  have  in  some  degree  been 
enabled  to  cooperate  with  the  influence  of  the  LORD 
and  his  angels,  in  contending  against  your  natural, 
selfish,  and  worldly  inclinations;  and  that  you  have 
consequently,  in  some  degree,  become  receptive  of  the 
loves  which  come  down  from  heaven  —  of  love  to  the 
LORD  and  love  to  the  neighbor.  We  trust  that  you 
have  begun  to  do  that  which  is,  in  the  spiritual  sense, 
denoted  by  eating  of  his  flesh  and  drinking  his  blood ; 
and  that  you  are,  therefore,  prepared  to  come  to  the 
ordinance  of  the  Holy  Supper. 

As  you  have  now  arrived  at  adult  age,  and  as  your 
faculties  of  freedom  and  rationality  are  unfolded,  the 
duty  henceforth  devolves  upon  you,  to  cultivate,  to 
regulate,  and  to  use  those  faculties.  Your  natural 
parents  [or  guardians]  will  no  longer  think  that  they 
ought  to  control  you,  but  will  desire  that  you  should 
be  a  free  and  rational  being.  They  apparently  leave 
you  to  yourself;  but  you  are  not  really  left  to  your- 
self:  you  are  not  an  orphan :  you  are  not  without  a 
father  and  a  mother.  And  we  trust  that  as  you  have 
been  coming  to  maturity,  you  have  been  coming  out 
of  a  natural  into  a  spiritual  state  of  mind.  We  trust 
that  you  have  acquired  some  knowledge  of,  and  have 
learned  to  love,  the  spiritual  influences  which  have 


G8  CONFIRMATION. 

been  operating,  and  are  now  operating,  upon  you; 
so  that  now,  when  you  are  corning  out  from  under 
the  government  of  your  natural  parents  [or  guardians], 
you  do  voluntarily  come  under  the  government  of  your 
spiritual  Parents  —  of  the  LORD,  and  of  his  Church. 
We  trust  that  you  will  look  unto  Him  as  your  FA- 
THER, and  to  the  holy  city,  the  New  Jerusalem,  as  your 
Mother. 

ADDRESS  TO  ADULTS  WHO  WERE  BAPTIZED  BEFORE  PROFESStNQ 
THEIR    BELIEF   IN    THE    DOCTRINES. 

You  have  been  introduced  by  Baptism  into  the 
New  Church;  and  by  the  same  means  you  have  been 
brought  more  fully  under  the  influence  of  the  angels 
of  the  New  Heaven.  Under  these  influences  and  in 
these  circumstances  you  have  been  studying  the  Doc- 
trines of  the  New  Jerusalem ;  and  as  you  have  pro- 
ceeded, your  understanding  of  them  has  been  contin- 
ually growing  clearer,  your  faith  in  them  firmer,  and 
your  affection  for  them  stronger.  Spiritual  darkness 
has  been  dissipated;  spiritual  clouds  have  been  dis- 
pelled or  illuminated ;  and  the  coldness  of  your  na- 
tural state  has  been  yielding  before  the  warmth  of  the 
spiritual  Sun.  You  are  now,  therefore,  beginning  to 
feel  established  in  these  Doctrines,  and  to  feel  at  home 
in  the  Holy  City  that  is  coming  down  from  GOD  out 
of  heaven. 

You  have  also  been  doing  some  of  the  spiritual 
works  which  are  denoted  by  baptism:  you  have  been 
abstaining  from  the  evils  whic^x  are  forbidden  in  the 
Commandments,  as  sins  against  GOD  ;  and  you  have 
been  contending  in  vour  own  mind  against  the  evil 
affections  and  inclinations  which  would  lead  to  those 
sins.  And  in  doing  these  things,  you  have  not  been 
imagining  that  you  were  acting  of  yourself,  and  by 
your  own  power;  but  you  have  believed  and  acknow- 
ledged that  you  were  acting  from  the  LORD,  and  by 
the  power  which  he  is  continually  giving  you  through 
the  influence  of  the  Holy  Spirit.  And  in  consequence 
of  shunning  evils  internally  as  well  as  externally,  you 
have  in  some  degree  overcome  the  love  of  them  ;  and 


CONFIRMATION.  69 

in  the  same  degree  you  have  begun  to  receive  a  love 
for  the  opposite  goods :  as  the  love  of  self  and  the 
love  of  the  world  have  in  some  degree  been  brought 
into  subordination,  so  in  the  same  degree  the  heavens 
have  been  opened  to  you,  and  the  Holy  Spirit  has 
corne  down  upon  you ;  that  is,  the  internals  of  your 
mind  have  been  opened,  and  love  to  the  LORD  and 
love  to  the  neighbor  have  begun  to  flow  down  into 
1he  externals:  thus  a  holy,  a  sanctifying  influence  has 
begun  to  descend,  and  to  be  diffused  throughout  the 
whole  man.  You  have  thus  begun  to  do  internally 
that  which  is  denoted  by  receiving  the  Holy  Supper : 
for  you  have  begun  to  receive  into  your  will  that 
which  is  denoted  by  the  bread,  and  into  your  under- 
standing that  which  is  denoted  by  the  wine;  and  you 
are  therefore  prepared  to  come  to  that  ordinance  ex- 
ternally. 


Here  the  Minister  may  read  the  following 

DOCTRINES  OF  THE  NEW  CHURCH. 

1.  THAT  there  is  one  GOD;  that  in  him  is  a  Divine 
Trinity  called  the  FATHER,  the   Sox,  and   the    HOLY 
SPIRIT  ;  that  these  three  are  distinct,  and  at  the  same 
time  united   in    him,  as  the  soul,  the  body,  and   the 
operation   are  in  man  ;  and  that  the  one  GOD  is  the 
LORD  JESUS  CHRIST. 

2.  That  saving  faith   is  to   believe  in  him  as  the 
Redeemer,  Regenerator,  and  Savior  from  sin. 

3.  That  the  Sacred  Scripture  is  Divine  Truth  ;  that 
it  is  revealed  to  us  as  a  means  by  which  we  may  dis- 
tinguish between  good  and  evil,  by  which  we  may 
be  delivered  from  the  influence  of  evil  spirits,  and  by 
which  we  may  become  associated   with   angels   and 
conjoined  with  the  LORD. 

4.  That  we  must  abstain  from  doing  evil,  because 
it  is  of  (he  devil  and  from  the  devil :  and  that  we  must 
do  good,  because  it  is  of  GOD  and  from  GOD. 


70  CONFIRMATION. 

5.  That  in  abstaining  from  evil  and  doing  good  we 
are  to  act  as  of  ourselves ;  but  we  must  at  the  same 
time  believe  and  acknowledge  that  the  will,  the  un- 
derstanding, and  the  power  to  do  so,  are  of  the  LORD 
alone. 

Min.  Do  you  acknowledge  and  receive  these  doc- 
trines ? 

Answer :  —  I  do. 

Min.  Do  you  desire  and  intend,  by  the  divine  mercy 
of  the  LORD,  to  live  according  to  them  ? 

Answer :  —  I  do. 

Min.  You  have  been  baptized  with  water,  which 
represents  the  truths  that  are  contained  in  the  literal 
sense  of  the  Scriptures :  May  you  also  be  baptized 
with  the  Holy  Spirit  and  with  tire;  that  is,  with  the 
Divine  Wisdom  and  the  Divine  Love  which  are  con- 
tained in  the  spiritual  sense. 

You  have  been  baptized  into  the  name  of  the  FA- 
THER, and  of  the  SON,  and  of  the  HOLY  SPIRIT  :  May 
you  have  this  baptism  spiritually  fulfilled  in  you  : 
May  you  receive  into  your  mind  and  life  that  which 
is  denoted  by  the  FATHER,  that  which  is  denoted  by 
the  SON,  and  that  which  is  denoted  by  the  HOLY 
SPIRIT.  May  the  LORD  JESUS  CHRIST  abide  in  you, 
and  you  in  him ;  so  that  you  may  be  brought  into 
his  image  and  likeness,  and  so  that  you  may  from 
him  bring  forth  the  fruits  of  righteousness. 


Then  may  be  said  the  Lord's  Prayer,  all  kneeling. 

OUR  FATHER,  who  art  in  the  heavens;  Hallowed  be 
thy  name.  Thy  kingdom  corne.  Thy  will  be  done, 
as  in  heaven,  so  also  upon  the  earth.  Give  us  this 
day  our  daily  bread.  And  forgive  us  our  debts,  as 
we  also  forgive  our  debtors.  And  lead  us  not  into 
temptation  ;  but  deliver  us  from  evil.  For  thine  is 
the  kingdom,  and  the  power,  and  the  glory,  for  ever: 
Amen. 


CONFIRMATIOX.  71 

The  candidate  then  kneels,  or  continues  kneeling;  and  the  Minister,  laying 
his  hands  on  his  head,  may  repeat  one  or  both  of  the  following  blessings. 

BLESSED  are  they  that  do  His  commandments,  that 
they  may  have  right  to  the  tree  of  life,  and  may  enter 
in  through  the  gates  into  the  city.  —  Rev.  xxii.  14. 

JEHOVAH  bless  thee,  and  keepthee:  JEHOVAH  make 
His  face  to  shine  upon  thee,  and  be  gracious  unto 
thee :  JEHOVAH  lift  up  His  countenance  upon  thee, 
and  give  thee  peace.  —  Num.  vi.  24  —  26. 


The  service  may  be  concluded  by  singing  an  Anthem,  Selection,  or  Hymn; 
and  by  the  Benediction,  if  no  services  follow. 


BENEDICTION. 

THE  grace  of  our  LORD  JESUS  CHRIST  be  with  yon 
all.     AMEN. 


SACRAMENT  OF  THE  HOLY  SUPPER,, 


[Persons  who  have  been  introduced  into  the  New  Church  by 
Baptism,  and  who  have  arrived  at  maturity,  (which  with  males  is  at 
the  age  of  twenty-one,  and  with  females  at  the  ageof  eighteen  years,) 
who  have  made  a  full  acknowledgment  of  their  faith  in  the  doctrines 
of  the  church,  and  declared  their  desire  ami  intention  to  live  ac- 
cording to  them,  and  who  are  in  a  state  of  charity  and  peace  with 
their  brethren,  are  regarded  as  proper  persons  to  receive  the  sacra- 
ment of  the  Holy  Supper.] 


The  service  may  be  commenced  by  singing  an  appropriate  Selection  of 
Hymn.     The  Minister  may  then  read  the  following. 

"  THE  INSTITUTION  OF  THE  HOLY  SUPPER  BY  THE  LORD. 

"  JESUS  kept  the  Passover  with  his  disciples  :  and 
when  the  evening  was  come,  he  sat  down  with  them. 
'And  as  they  did  eat,  JESUS  took  BREAD,  and  blessed, 
and  brake,  and  gave  to  his  disciples,  and  said,  Take, 
eat;  this  is  MY  BODY.  And  he  took  the  CUP;  and 
when  he  had  given  thanks,  he  gave  it  to  them,  saying, 
Drink  ye  all  of  it;  for  this  is  MY  BLOOD  of  the  New 
Covenant,  which  is  shed  for  many.' —  Mat.  xxvi.  26  - 
28;  Mark  xiv.  22-24;  Luke  xxii.  19.  20. 

"  1  HE  DOCTRINE  OF  THE  LORD  CONCERNING  HIS  FLESH  AND 
BLOOD  AND  CONCERNING  THE  BREAD  AND  WINE. 

"'  LABOR  not  for  the  meat  which  perisheth,  but  for 
that  meat  which  endureth  unto  everlasting  life,  which 
the  SON  or  MAN  will  give  unto  you.  Verily,  verily, 
I  say  unto  you,  Moses  gave  you  not  that  bread  from 


THE    HOLY    SUPPER.  73 

heaven,  but  my  FATHER  giveth  you  the  true  bread 
from  heaven :  for  the  bread  of  GOD  is  he  that  cometh 
down  from  heaven,  and  giveth  Jife  to  the  world.  1 
am  the  bread  of  life  :  he  that  cometh  unto  me  shall 
never  hunger,  and  he  that  believeth  on  me  shall  nevei 
thirst.  I  am  the  bread  which  came  down  from  hea- 
ven. Verily,  verily,  I  say  unto  you,  He  that  believeth 
on  me  hath  everlasting  life:  I  am  that  bread  of  life. 
Your  fathers  did  eat  the  manna  in  the  wilderness,  and 
are  dead.  This  is  the  bread  which  cometh  down 
from  heaven,  that  one  may  eat  thereof,  and  not  die. 
I  am  the  living  bread  which  came  down  from  heaven  ; 
if  any  one  eat  of  this  bread,  he  shall  live  forever:  and 
the  bread  that  I  will  give  is  my  flesh,  which  I  will 
give  for  the  life  of  the  world.  Verily,  verily,  I  say 
unto  you,  Except  ye  eat  the  flesh  of  the  SON  OF  MAN, 
and  drink  his  blood,  ye  have  no  life  in  you.  Whoso 
eateth  my  flesh,  and  drinketh  my  blood,  hath  eternal 
life;  and  I  will  raise  him  up  at  the  last  day:  for  my 
flesh  is  meat  indeed,  and  my  blood  is  drink  indeed. 
He  that  eateth  my  flesh,  and  drinketh  rny  blood, 
dwelleth  in  me,  and  I  in  him.'  —  John  vi.  27,  32,  33, 
35,  41,  47-51,  53-56."—  T.  C.  R.  703. 

"  The  Holy  Supper  was  instituted  by  the  LORD,  to 
be  a  means  whereby  the  church  may  have  conjunction 
with  heaven,  and  thus  with  the  LORD:  it  is,  therefore, 
the  holiest  solemnity  of  divine  worship. 

"  The  manner  in  which  such  conjunction  is  effected 
by  the  Holy  Supper,  is  not  understood  by  those  who 
are  unacquainted  with  the  internal  or  spiritual  sense 
of  the  Word ;  since  they  do  not  think  beyond  the  ex- 
ternal sense,  which  is  that  of  the  letter.  It  is  only 
from  the  internal  or  spiritual  sense  of  tehe  Word,  that 
it  can  be  known  what  is  signified  by  the  LORD'S  body 
and  blood,  and  by  the  bread  and  the  wine ;  and  also 
what  is  signified  by  eating. 

"  In  the  spiritual  sense,  the  LORD'S  body  or  flesh, 
and  the  bread,  signifies  the  good  of  love ;  the  LORD'S 
blood  and  the  wine,  the  good  of  faith  ;  and  eating,  ap- 
propriation and  conjunction.  In  no  other  sense  do 
the  angels,  who  are  attendant  on  man  when  he  re- 
7 


74  THE   HOLY    SUPPER. 

ceives  the  sacrament  of  the  Supper,  understand  these 
things;  for  they  perceive  all  things  spiritually.  Hence 
it  is,  that,  on  such  occasions,  a  holy  principle  of  love 
and  of  faith  flows  into  man  from  the  angels,  thus 
through  heaven  from  the  LORD;  and  hence  conjunc- 
tion is  effected. 

"  From  these  considerations  it  is  evident,  that  when 
man  partakes  of  the  bread,  which  is  the  body,  he  is 
conjoined  to  the  LORD  by  the  good  of  love,  directed 
to  Him  and  derived  from  Him;  and  that  when  he 
pai  takes  of  the  wine,  which  is  the  blood,  he  is  con- 
joined to  the  LORD  by  the  good  of  faith,  directed 
to  Him  and  derived  from  Him.  But  it  must  be  par- 
ticularly observed,  that  conjunction  with  the  LORD  by 
means  of  the  sacrament  of  the  Holy  Supper,  is  effected 
with  those  alone  who  are  influenced  by  the  good  of 
love  to  Him,  and  of  faith  in  Him  and  from  Him. 
With  these  there  is  conjunction  by  means  of  this  most 
holy  ordinance :  with  others  there  is  indeed  the 
LORD'S  presence,  but  no  conjunction  with  Him. 

"  Besides,  the  Holy  Supper  includes  and  compre- 
hends the  whole  of  the  divine  worship  instituted  in 
the  Israelitish  Church;  for  the  burnt  offerings  and 
sacrifices,  in  which  the  worship  of  that  church  princi- 
pally consisted,  were  denominated  by  the  single  term 
BREAD:  hence,  also,  the  Holy  Supper  is  the  comple- 
tion or  fulness  of  that  representative  worship."  — H.  D. 
210-214. 


Then  may  be  read  the  following 
INSTRUCTION. 

The  LORD  has  given  to  the  Church  two  external 
representative  ordinances,  Baptism,  and  the  Holy 
Supper.  These  ordinances  have  spiritual  significa- 
tions; and  in  their  spiritual  sense  they  involve  all  we 
have  to  do  in  preparation  for  heaven.  Baptism,  or 
the  washing  of  the  body  with  water,  denotes  the  pu- 
rification of  the  mind,  and  the  removal  of  every  thing 
that  is  evil  and  false;  and  the  Holy  Supper  denotes 


THE    HOLY    SUPPER.  75 

the  reception  and  implantation  of  what  is  good  and 
true  :  thus  the-  two  ordinances  represent  the  whole 
work  of  regeneration — the  whole  work  by  which  we 
come  out  of  a  natural  state  into  a  spiritual  one  —  the 
work  of  rejecting  the  influence  of  evil  spirits,  and 
yielding  to  the  influence  of  the  LORD  and  his  angels 

H 

—  the  work  of  resisting  the  love  of  self  and  the  love 
of  the  world,  until  they  are  brought  into  subordination 
to  the  love  of  the  LORD  and  the  love  of  the  neighbor, 

It  is  made  our  duty  to  receive  Baptism  before  \ve 
receive  the  Holy  Supper,  because  the  spiritual  works 
which  are  represented  by  Baptism  precede  and  pre- 
pare the  way  for  those  which  are  represented  by  the 
Holy  Supper:  for  the  evils  and  falsities  which  come 
up  from  beneath  are  opposite  to  the  goods  and  truths 
which  come  down  from  above ;  so  opposite  and  con- 
trary, that  we  cannot  be  under  the  influence  of  both 
at  the  same  time:  consequently  we  must  be  success- 
ively delivered  from  the  former,  before  we  can  receive 
the  latter ;  and  in  the  degree  that  we  resist  and  put 
away  what  is  evil  and  false,  in  that  degree  are  we 
able  to  receive  what  is  good  and  true  ;  or,  in  other 
words,  in  the  degree  that  \ve  perform  the  spiritual 
works  represented  by  Baptism,  in  that  degree  are  we 
prepared  to  receive  the  Holy  Supper,  and  the  things 
represented  by  it. 

[While  we  are  performing  the  duties  which  are  re- 
presented by  Baptism;  that  is,  while  we  are  abstaining 
from  those  things  which  are  forbidden  by  the  Com- 
mandments, and  are  resisting  our  natural  inclinations 
to  do  those  things,  then  we  think  of  the  LORD,  of  his 
government,  and  his  laws,  only  in  natural  light;  for 
our  evil  inclinations  prevent  spiritual  light,  from  corn- 
ing down  out  of  heaven  into  our  minds  :  consequently, 
we  then  think  of  him  as  an  Almighty  Being  who  acts 
from  such  principles  as  natural  men  act  from,  who 
acts  from  a  love  of  his  own  glory  and  happiness,  and 
who  therefore  loves  and  rewards  those  who  love  and 
obey  him,  and  hates  and  punishes  those  who  hate  and 
disobey  him. 

But  as  we  conform  to  his  precepts,  our  views  of  him 


76  THE   HOLY    SUPPER. 

change  ;  the  more  we  conform,  the  more  plainly  do 
we  see  that  it  is  good  for  us  to  conform,  and  the  more 
happiness  do  we  enjoy  while  we  are  conforming,  at 
the  same  time  our  desire  to  do  the  things  which  are 
forbidden  is  continually  diminishing ;  our  love  for 
ourselves  and  for  the  world  is  by  degrees  overcome 
and  made  subordinate;  and  as  this  is  done,  love  to- 
wards  our  neighbor  is  insinuated,  which  makes  us  love 
the  Commandments;  that  is,  it  makes  us  love  to  do 
what  they  require,  and  unwilling  to  do  what  they  for- 
bid :  and  together  with  love  to  our  neighbors  there  is 
insinuated  into  our  minds  a  spiritual  light,  by  which 
the  Commandments  are  lifted  up  and  glorified ;  their 
interior  spirit  and  life  are  gradually  unfolded,  and  we 
are  continually  able  to  see  more  and  more  wonderful 
things  in  them. 

And  as  our  views  of  the  Divine  Laws  change,  so 
our  views  of  the  LORD  himself  change  :  when  we  find 
that  they  are  good  for  us,  we  begin  to  think  that  he 
gave  them  for  that  reason.  Thus  we  are  led  to  re- 
view all  our  opinions  concerning  him.  We  did  sup- 
pose that  in  governing  us  and  giving  us  laws,  he  acted 
from  a  love  of  governing,  and  a  regard  to  his  own 
glory ;  but  now  we  begin  to  think  that  he  acts  from 
love  towards  us,  that  he  governs  from  love,  and  that 
he  gives  laws  from  love.  We  also  begin  to  see  that 
he  does  not  love  us  because  we  have  been  loving  him, 
and  that  he  does  not  do  good  unto  us  because  we 
have  been  doing  good  unto  him  ;  but  that  he  loves  us 
because  he  is  infinitely  good,  and  that  he  does  good 
unto  us  because  he  loves  to  do  good.  We  become 
sensible  that  while  we  were  buried  in  sin,  while  we 
were  opposing  and  hating  him  and  every  thing  that 
is  good,  he  was  loving  us;  and  that  from  love  he  took 
upon  himself  our  nature,  and  came  down  to  save  us ; 
to  deliver  us  from  the  evils  of  our  will,  and  from  the 
falsities  of  our  understandings,  and  instead  of  them 
to  fill  our  minds  with  wisdom  and  goodness.  For 
this  purpose  he  purified  and  glorified  the  human  na- 
ture which  he  assumed ;  he  delivered  it  from  the  evil 
and  false  propensities  which  it  inherited  from  its  mo* 


THE   HOLY   SUPPER.  77 

ther,  and  filled  it  with  his  own  Love  and  Wisdom. 
By  doing  this,  he  showed  us  what  we  have  to  do,  and 
he  gave  us  power  to  do  it.  While  he  was  doing  this, 
he  gave  us  all  the  knowledge  of  himself  that,  we  are 
capable  of  receiving;  and  by  the  manner  in  which  he 
glorified  his  Humanity  and  made  it  Divine,  he  showed 
how  we  may  be  regenerated  and  made  spiritual.] 

While  we  are  reading  the  Scriptures,  which  give  an 
account  of  what  the  LORD  did  while  he  dwelt  in  the 
world,  we  see  him  in  two  aspects ;  we  see  him  as  a 
good  Being,  and  a  wise  Being;  and  we  see  that  all 
the  works  and  words  that  proceeded  from  him,  pro- 
ceeded from  his  Love  and  Wisdom  united.  These 
two  attributes  are  what  are  denoted  by  his  flesh  and 
his  blood,  which  he  says  we  must  eat  and  drink  that 
we  may  have  eternal  life;  and  they  are  also  what 
are  denoted  by  the  bread  and  the  wine  of  the  Holy 
Supper.  His  flesh  and  the  bread  denote  his  Love  or 
Goodness,  and  his  blood  and  the  wine  denote  his 
Wisdom  or  Truth.  As  bread  and  wine  are  appro- 
priated to  us,  and  made  to  enter  into  the  composition 
of  our  bodies,  by  our  eating  and  drinking  them;  so 
there  is  such  a  thing  as  spiritual  eating  and  drinking, 
by  means  of  which  the  LORD'S  Goodness  and  Truth 
may  be  received  and  appropriated  by  our  minds.  We 
spiritually  eat,  when  we  meditate  upon  and  love  his 
Goodness,  and  desire  to  have  such  goodness  in  our 
own  minds;  and  we  spiritually  drink,  when  we  medi- 
tate upon  the  instruction  which  he  gave,  and  when 
we  endeavor  to  receive  it  into  our  minds,  so  that  we 
may  think  and  act  according  to  it. 

For  example,  when  we  consider  the  feelings  which 
(he  LORD  manifested  toward  all  men,  even  toward 
those  who  hated  him,  then  we  can  form  an  idea  of 
his  G  >odness;  we  can  form  an  idea  of  the  nature  of 
his  Love.  If  we  take  delight  in  such  Love,  if  we 
love  it,  and  desire  to  receive  it  into  our  minds  so  as 
to  act  from  it,  then  we  eat  spiritual  food  ;  we  receive 
that  goodness  into  our  minds:  while  we  are  loving  it, 
it  flows  from  the  LORD  into  our  spirits;  it  nourishes 
them,  and  gives  them  eternal  life  :  for  to  feel  such 
7* 


78  THE   HOLY   SUPPEE. 

love,  and  to  act  from  it,  is  eternal  life  ;  that  is,  such 
life  as  the  angels  live. 

So  when  we  listen  to  him  while  he  is  teaching  us 
to  love  our  enemies,  and  to  do  good,  and  lend,  hoping 
for  nothing  in  return,  that  we  may  be  like  our  FATHER 
who  is  in  heaven,  who  is  kind  unto  the  unthankful 
and  the  evil ;  if  we  love  this  instruction,  and  desire 
to  receive  it  into  our  minds,  and  to  live  according  to 
it,  then  we  spiritually  drink;  we  receive  spiritual  wine 
into  our  spirits;  and  it  enters  into  them  and  nourishes 
and  strengthens  them.  Whence  it  may  be  seen  that 
by  wine  is  denoted  spiritual  truth. 

[Now  there  are  various  kinds  of  goodness  and  truth 
which  the  LORD  manifested  and  taught  while  he  dwelt 
among  us  performing  a  work  of  redemption.  All  of 
these  are  presented  to  us,  that  we  may  receive  them 
into  our  spirits,  and  be  nourished  by  them  :  for  he 
says,  "As  the  living  FATHER  hath  sent  me,  and  I  live 
by  the  FATHER;  so  he  that  eateth  me,  even  he  shall 
live  by  me."  He  was,  as  to  his  Humanity,  continually 
obtaining  knowledge  of  the  goodness  and  the  truth  of 
his  internal  Divinity  :  then  by  loving  that  goodness 
and  truth,  by  receiving  them  into  his  Humanity,  and 
bringing  them  into  life,  his  Humanity  also  was  made 
Divine,  and  was  united  with  his  Essential  Divinity. 
So,  if  we  do  that  which  is  denoted  by  eating  him  ; 
that  is,  if  we  love,  receive,  and  appropriate  the  grace 
and  truth  which  came  by  him,  we  shall  become  like- 
nesses of  him,  shall  live  by  him,  and  shall  thus  have 
eternal  life. 

But  we  must  not  imagine  that  we  fully  understand 
his  goodness  and  truth  the  first  time  we  think  of  them, 
or  that  we  love  them  enough  the  first  time  that  we 
feel  any  affection  for  them:  for  although  he  has  in  his 
mercy  brought  them  down,  so  that  even  our  senses 
can  perceive  them,  and  so  that  even  the  natural  man 
can  form  an  idea  of  them,  yet  in  themselves  they  are 
infinite;  and  they  will  for  ever  continue  to  unfold 
themselves  to  our  view,  as  our  minds  unfold  them- 
selves to  receive  them.  When  we  are  beginning  to 
understand  and  to  love  them,  we  are  beginning  a  new 


THE   HOLY    SUPPER.  79 

life ;  we  are  beginning  to  partake  of  the  food  which 
he  has  brought  down  from  heaven  —  the  food  of  which 
we  shall  eat  for  ever,  and  by  means  of  which  we  shall 
live  for  ever  And  the  reason  why  this  spiritual  food 
will  continue  to  nourish  us  for  ever  is,  because  it  is 
the  infinite  goodness  and  wisdom  of  the  LORD  himself, 
which  he  gives  without  measure ;  and  because  the 
more  we  receive  of  it,  and  the  longer  we  live  upon  it, 
the  better  shall  we  understand  it,  and  the  more  shall 
we  be  able  to  receive  of  it.] 

From  the  spiritual  signification  of  the  Holy  Sup- 
per, we  can  see  what  we  ought  to  be  doing  spiritually, 
while  we  are  partaking  of  it  naturally;  and  that  is, 
while  we  are  eating  the  bread  and  drinking  the  wine, 
we  ought  to  be  meditating  upon,  and  loving,  and  re- 
ceiving into  our  minds  the  Divine  Goodness  and  Wis- 
dom which  are  denoted  bv  them.  And  in  order  that 

wt 

we  may  be  prepared  to  do  this,  two  things  are  neces- 
sary. In  the  first  place,  we  must  have  arrived  at 
adult  age :  for  if  we  have  not,  we  shall  not  be  free  and 
rational  beings;  and  the  works  which  we  do  will  not 
be  entirely  our  own,  but  will  in  part  proceed  from  those 
who  have  control  over  us.  Secondly,  we  must  have 
been  bapti/ed,  and  must  have  begun  to  do  the  spirit- 
ual works  which  are  denoted  by  that  ordinance ;  that 
is,  we  must  have  begun  to  abstain  from  evils  as  sins, 
and  we  must  have  begun  to  fight  against  and  to  over- 
come our  inclinations  to  them :  for  until  we  have  be- 
gun to  do  this,  we  can  have  no  genuine  affection  for 
the  things  which  are  represented  by  the  bread  and 
wine;  and  if  we  have  any  affection  for  them,  it  will 
be  for  our  own  sake,  and  not  for  their  sake.  But  when 
we  have  overcome  the  love  of  any  evil,  we  shall  re- 
ceive from  the  LORD  a  love  for  the  opposite  good  ;  and 
when  we  have  overcome  the  love  of  any  falsity,  we 
shall  receive  a  love  for  the  opposite  truth:  thus  arc; 
we  prepared  to  come  to  the  Holy  Supper;  thus  are 
we  prepared  to  partake  of  it  internally,  as  well  as  ex- 
ternally—  to  receive  the  bread  and  wine,  and  at  the 
warne  time  to  receive  something  of  the  goodness  and 
truth  which  are  represented  by  them. 


80  THE   HOLY   SUPPER. 

[When  the  LORD  dwelt  among  us,  he  turned  water 
into  wine;  and  he  also  did  the  spiritual  work  which 
is  denoted  by  it:  that  is,  he  transformed  the  prohi- 
bitory commandments  into  doctrines  of  love.  The 
commandments  in  relation  to  himself,  which  forbid 
our  having  other  gods  before  him,  our  taking  his  name 
in  vain,  and  our  violating  his  holy  day,  are  trans- 
formed into  the  doctrine  that  we  should  love  him 
with  all  the  heart;  and  he  presented  himself  to  us  in 
such  a  manner  that  we  could  do  it.  So  the  con  - 
mandments  in  relation  to  our  neighbors,  which  forbid 
our  doing  or  desiring  to  do  any  evil  to  them,  were 
transformed  into  the  doctrine  that  we  should  love 
them  as  ourselves. 

But  it  was  at  a  marriage  that  he  turned  the  water 
into  wine :  so  it  is  at  a  spiritual  marriage  that  he 
transforms  the  commandments  into  doctrines  of  love; 
it  is  when  he  can  produce  the  marriage  of  goodness 
and  truth  in  our  minds ;  when  evil  loves  are  overcome 
in  us,  and  we  begin  to  receive  good  loves  in  place  of 
them.  With  these  loves  all  his  commandments  can 
be  united  in  marriage  ;  and  when  they  are  thus  united, 
we  obey  without  any  hope  of  reward  :  we  can  do 
good,  and  lend,  hoping  for  nothing  again ;  for  it  is  our 
meat  and  our  drink  to  do  his  will.] 

Here  one  or  more  of  the  following  passages  from  the  Word  may  be  read. 

AND  in  this  mountain  shall  JEHOVAH  of  hosts  make 

unto  all  people 

A  least  of  fat  things,  a  feast  of  wines  on  the  lees, 
Of  fat  things  full  of  marrow, 
Of  wines  on  the  lees  well  refined. 
And  he  will  destroy  in  this  mountain 
The  face  of  the  covering  cast  over  all  people, 
And  the  vail  that  is  spread  over  all  nations. 
He  will  swallow  up  death  in  victory ; 
And  the  LORD  JEHOVIH  will  wipe  away  tears  from  off 

all  faces ; 
And  the  rebuke  of  his  people  shall  he  take  away  from 

off  all  the  earth  : 


THE   HOLY    SUPPER.  81 

For  JEHOVAH  hath  spoken  it. 

And  it  shall  be  said  in  that  day, 

Lo,  this  is  our  GOD  ; 

We  have  waited  for  him,  and  he  will  save  U8  : 

This  is  JEHOVAH  ; 

We  have  waited  for  him, 

We  will  be  glad  and  rejoice  in  his  salvation. 

Is.  xxv.  6  —  9. 

AND,  thou  son  of  man,  thus  saith  the  LORD  JEIIO 
VIH:  Speak  unto  every  feathered  fowl,  and  to  every 
beast  of  the  field, 

Assemble  yourselves,  and  come ; 
Gather  yourselves  on  every  side, 
To  my  sacrifice  that  I  do  sacrifice  for  you, 
A  great  sacrifice  upon  the  mountains  of  Israel, 
That  ye  may  eat  flesh,  and  drink  blood. 
Ye  shall  eat  the  flesh  of  the  mighty, 
And  drink  the  blood  of  the  princes  of  the  earth, 
Of  rams,  of  lambs,  and  of  goats,  of  bullocks, 
All  of  them  failings  of  Bashan. 
And  ye  shall  eat  fat  till  ye  be  full, 
And  drink  blood  till  ye  be  drunken, 
Of  my  sacrifice  which  I  have  sacrificed  for  you. 
Thus  ye  shall  be  filled  at  my  table  with  horses  and 

chariots, 

With  mighty  men,  and  with  all  men  of  war, 
Saith  the  LORD  JEHOVIH.  —  Ezek.  xxxix.  17  —  20. 

AND  I  heard  as  it  were  the  voice  of  a  great  multi- 
tude, and  as  the  voice  of  many  waters,  and  as  tho 
voice  of  mighty  thunderings,  saying,  Alleluia  :  for  tho 
LORD  GOD  Omnipotent  reigneth.  Let  us  be  glad 
and  rejoice,  and  give  the  glory  unto  him :  for  the 
marriage  of  the  LAMB  is  come,  and  his  Wife  hath 
made  herself  ready.  And  to  her  was  granted  that  she 
should  be  arrayed  in  fine  linen,  bright  and  clean:  for 
the  fine  linen  is  the  righteousness  of  the  saints.  And 
he  saith  unto  me,  Write,  Blessed  are  they  that  are 
called  unto  the  marriage  supper  of  the  LAMB. —  Rev 
xix.  6-9. 


S;2  THE    HOLY    SUPPER. 

AND  I  saw  an  angel  standing  in  the  sun  ;  and  he 
cried  with  a  loud  voice,  saying  to  all  the  fowls  that  fly 
in  the  midst  of  heaven,  Come  and  gather  yourselves 
together  unto  the  supper  of  the  great  GOD;  that  ye 
may  eat  the  flesh  of  kings,  and  the  flesh  of  captains, 
and  the  flesh  of  the  mighty,  and  the  flesh  of  horses, 
and  of  them  that  sit  upon  them,  and  the  flesh  of  all, 
both  free  and  bond,  and  small  and  great.  —  Rev.  xix. 
17,  18. 

BEHOLD,  I  stand  at  the  door,  and  knock :  if  any  one 
hear  my  voice,  and  open  the  door,  I  will  come  in  unto 
him,  and  will  sup  with  him,  and  he  with  me.  To  him 
that  overcometh  will  I  grant  to  sit  with  me  in  my 
throne,  even  as  I  also  overcame,  and  sat  down  with 
my  FATHER  in  his  throne.  He  that  hath  an  ear,  let 
him  hear  what  the  Spirit  saith  unto  the  churches. — 
Rev.  iii.  20-22. 

THEREFORE  if  thou  bring  thy  gift  to  the  altar,  and 
there  rememberest  that  thy  brother  hath  aught  against 
thee ;  leave  there  thy  gift  before  the  altar,  and  go  thy 
way :  first  be  reconciled  to  thy  brother,  and  then  come 
and  offer  thy  gift.—  Mat.  v.  23,  24. 

THEN  came  the  day  of  unleavened  bread,  when  the 
passover  must  be  killed.  And  he  sent  Peter  and  John, 
saying,  Go  and  prepare  us  the  passover,  that  we  may 
eat.  And  they  said  unto  him,  Where  wilt  thou  that 
we  prepare?  And  he  said  unto  them,  Behold,  when 
ye  are  entered  into  the  city,  there  shall  a  man  meet 
you,  bearing  a  pitcher  of  water;  follow  him  into  the 
house  where  he  entereth  in.  And  ye  shall  say  unto 
the  good  man  of, the  house.  The  Master  saith  unto  thee, 
Where  is  the  guestchamber,  where  I  shall  eat  the 
passover  with  my  disciples?  And  he  ^hall  show  you 
a  large  upper  room  furnished  :  there  make  ready.  And 
they  went,  and  found  as  he  had  said  unto  them  :  and 
they  made  ready  the  passover. —  Luke  xxii.  7-  13. 

Now  when  the  evening  was  come,  he  sat  down  with 


THE    HOLY    SUPPER.  83 

the  twelve.  And  as  they  did  eat,  he  said,  Verily  1 
say  unto  you,  that  one  of  you  shall  betray  me.  And 
they  were  exceedingly  sorrowful,  and  began  every  one 
of  them  to  say  unto  him,  LORD,  is  it  I?  And  he  an- 
swered and  said,  He  that  dippeth  his  hand  with  me 
in  the  dish,  the  same  shall  betray  me.  The  SON  OF 
MAN  goeth  as  it  is  written  of  him  :  but  wo  unto  that 
man  by  whom  the  SON  OF  MAN  is  betrayed!  it  had 
been  good  for  that  man  if  he  had  not  been  born. 
Then  Judas,  who  betrayed  him,  answered  and  said, 
Master,  is  it  I  ?  He  said  unto  him,  Thou  hast  said. 

And  as  they  were  eating,  JESUS  took  the  Bread,  and 
blessed,  and  brake,  and  gave  to  the  disciples,  and  said, 
Take,  eat ;  this  is  my  Body.  And  he  took  the  Cup, 
and  gave  thanks,  and  gave  to  them,  saying,  Drink  ye 
all  of  it;  for  this  is  my  Blood  of  the  New  Covenant, 
which  is  shed  for  many  for  the  remission  of  sins.  But 
I  say  unto  you,  I  will  not  drink  henceforth  of  this  fruit 
of  the  vine,  until  that  day  when  1  drink  it  new  with 
you  in  my  FATHER'S  kingdom.  And  when  they  had 
sung  an  hymn,  they  went  out  into  the  Mount  of 
Olives.—  Mat.  xxvi.  20-30. 


Here  the  Minister,  uncovering  the  Bread,  may  repeat  the  following  prayer, 
or  the  LORD'S  Prayer,  or  both",  all  kneeling. 

O  LORD  our  Redeemer  and  Savior,  thou  who  art 
the  Bread  of  life,  draw  near,  and  bless  us,  while  we 
engage  in  this  holiest  act  of  worship.  We  confess 
before  thee,  O  LORD,  that  of  ourselves  we  are  only 
evil,  and  all  unworthy  of  thy  great  goodness,  and  of 
the  manifold  blessings  we  daily  receive  at  thy  hands. 
Yet,  trusting  in  thy  Divine  mercy,  and  encouraged  by 
thy  gracious  invitations,  we  come,  with  humble  and 
penitent  hearts,  to  present  ourselves  before  thee,  and, 
in  the  way  of  thine  appointment,  seek  conjunction 
with  thee.  Prepare  our  hearts  and  minds,  we  entreat 
thee,  for  such  heavenly  communion.  May  every  evil 
affection  and  false  suggestion  be  removed,  and  may 
love  to  thee  and  charity  towards  our  neighbor  be  im- 
piantnd  in  their  stead;  so  that  while  our  bodies  are 


84  THE    HOLY    SUPPER. 

nourished  by  the  bread  and  wirre,  our  souls  may  be 
strengthened  and  refreshed  by  angels'  food  —  by  love 
to  thee  and  to  one  another.  And  may  we  thus  realize 
that  in  thy  Holy  Supper  thou  art  present  with  all  the 
benefits  of  thy  redemption.  May  it  be  a  signing,  seal- 
ing, and  testifying  that  we  are  thy  children,  opening 
to  us  the  mansions  of  heaven,  and  conjoining  us  more 
closely  with  thee  for  evermore.  Amen. 

OUR  FATHRR,  who  art  in  the  heavens;  Hallowed  be 
thy  name.  Thy  kingdom  come.  Thy  will  be  done, 
as  in  heaven,  so  also  upon  the  earth.  Give  us  this 
day  our  daily  bread.  And  forgive  us  our  debts,  as 
we  also  forgive  our  debtors.  And  lead  us  not  into 
temptation;  but  deliver  us  from  evil.  For  thine  is 
the  kingdom,  and  the  power,  and  the  glory,  for  ever. 
AMKN. 


Then  shall  the  Minister  repeat  one  of  the  following  passages. 

JESUS  took  the  Bread,  and  blessed,  and  brake,  and 
gave  to  the  disciples,  and  said,  Take,  eat ;  this  is  my 
Body.  — Mat.  xxvi.  26. 

JESUS  took  Bread,  and  blessed,  and  brake,  and  gave 
to  them,  and  said,  Take,  eat;  this  is  my  Body. — 
Mark  xiv.  22. 

AND  he  took  Bread,  and  gave  thanks,  and  brake, 
and  gave  unto  them,  saying,  This  is  my  Body  which 
is  given  for  you:  this  do  in  remembrance  of  me. — 
Luke  xxii.  19. 

Here  shall  he  break  and  distribute  the  Bread. 
Then  shall  he  take  the  Cup,  and  repeat  one  of  the  following  passages. 

AND  he  took  the  Cup,  and  gave  thanks,  and  gave 
to  them,  saying,  Drink  ye  all  of  it;  for  this  is  my 
Blood  of  the  New  Covenant,  which  is  shed  for  many 
for  the  remission  of  sins.  —  Mat.  xxvi.  27,  28. 


THE   HOLY    SUPPER  85 

AND  he  took  the  Cup,  and  when  he  had  given  thanks, 
he  gave  to  them  :  and  they  all  drank  of  it.  And  he 
said  unto  them,  This  is  my  Blood  of  the  New  Cove- 
nant, which  is  shed  for  many.  —  Mark  xiv.  23,  24. 

LIKEWISE  also  the  Cup  after  supper,  saying,  This 
cup  is  the  New  Covenant  in  my  Blood,  which  is  shed 
for  you.  —  Luke  xxii.  20. 


Then  shall  he  present  the  Wine  to  the  communicants. 


When  all  have  partaken,  one  or  more  of  the  following  passages  may  be 

read. 

IF  ye  love  me,  keep  my  commandments.  And  1 
will  pray  the  FATHER,  and  he  shall  give  you  another 
Comforter,  fhat  he  may  abide  with  you  for  ever:  the 
Spirit  of  truth ;  whom  the  world  cannot  receive,  be- 
cause it  seeth  him  not,  neither  knoweth  him  :  but  ye 
know  him  ;  for  he  dwelleth  with  you,  and  shall  be  in 
you.  I  will  not  leave  you  comfortless:  I  will  come  to 
you.  Yet  a  little  while,  and  the  world  seeth  me  no 
more;  but  ye  see  me:  because  I  live,  ye  shall  live 
also.  At  that  day  ye  shall  know  that  I  am  in  my 
FATHER,  and  ye  in  me,  and  I  in  you.  He  that  hath 
my  commandments,  and  keepeth  them,  he  it  is  that 
loveth  me  :  and  he  that  loveth  me,  shall  be  loved  of 
rny  FATHER;  and  1  will  love  him,  and  will  manifest 
myself  to  him. 

Judas  saith  unto  him,  not  IscarLot,  LORD,  how  is  it 
that  thou  wilt  manifest  thyself  unto  us,  and  not  unto 
the  world  ? 

JESIS  answered  and  said  unto  him,  If  a  man  love 
me,  he  will  keep  my  words:  and  my  FATHER  will 
love  him',  and  we  will  come  unto  him,  and  make  our 
abode  with  him.  He  that  loveth  me  not,  keepeth  not 
my  sayings:  and  the  word  which  ye  hear  is  not  mine, 
but  the  FATHER'S  who  sent  rne.  These  things  have 
I  spoken  unto  you,  being  present  with  you.  But  the 
Comforter,  the  Holy  Spirit,  whom  the  FATHER  will 
s 


86  THE    HOLY    SUPPER. 

send  in  my  name,  he  shall  teach  you  all  things,  and 
bring  all  things  to  your  remembrance,  whatsoever  ] 
have  said  unto  you.  —  John  xiv.  15  —  26. 

PEACE  I  leave  with  you  ;  my  peace  I  give  unto  you  : 
not  as  the  world  giveth,  give  I  unto  you.  Let  not 
your  heart  be  troubled,  neither  let  it  be  afraid.  Ye 
have  heard  how  I  said  unto  you,  I  go  away,  and  come 
unto  you.  If  ye  loved  me,  ye  would  rejoice,  because 
I  said,  I  go  unto  the  FATHER:  for  my  FATHER  ia 
greater  than  I.  And  now  1  have  told  you  before  it 
come  to  pass,  that,  when  it  is  come  to  pass,  ye  might 
believe.  Hereafter  I  will  not  talk  much  with  you  : 
for  the  prince  of  this  world  cometh,  and  hath  nothing 
in  me.  But  that  the  world  may  know  that  I  love  the 
FATHER:  and  as  the  FATHER  gave  me  commandment, 
even  so  I  do.  Arise,  let  us  go  hence.  —  John  xiv. 
27-31. 

THIS  is  my  commandment,  That  ye  love  one  ano- 
ther, as  I  have  loved  you..  Greater  love  hath  no  one 
than  this,  that  one  lay  down  his  life  for  his  friends. 
Ye  are  my  friends,  if  ye  do  whatsoever  I  command 
you.  Henceforth  I  call  you  not  servants  ;  for  the  ser- 
vant knoweth  not  what  his  lord  doeth :  but  I  have 
called  you  friends;  for  all  things  that  I  have  heard  of 
my  FATHER,  I  have  made  known  unto  you.  Ye  have 
not  chosen  me,  but  I  have  chosen  you,  and  ordained 
you,  that  ye  should  go  and  bring  forth  fruit,  and  that 
your  fruit  should  remain  ;  that  whatsoever  ye  shall 
ask  of  the  FATHER  in  rny  name,  he  may  give  it  you. 
These  things  I  command  you,  that  ye  love  one  ano- 
ther.—  John  xv.  12-17. 

THESE  words  spake  JESUS,  and  lifted  up  his  eyes  to 
heaven,  and  said,  FATHER,  the  hour  is  come ;  glorify 
thy  SON,  that  thy  SON  also  may  glorify  thee :  as  thou 
hast  given  him  power  over  all  flesh,  that  he  should 
give  eternal  life  to  as  many  as  thou  hast  given  him. 
And  this  is  life  eternal,  that  they  might  know  thee  the 
only  true  GOD,  and  JESUS  CHRIST,  whom  thou  hast 


THE   HOLY   SUPPER.  87 

sent.  I  have  glorified  thee  on  the  earth :  I  have 
finished  the  work  which  thou  gavest  me  to  do.  And 
now,  O  FATHER,  glorify  thou  me  with  thine  own  self, 
with  the  glory  which  I  had  with  thee  before  the  world 
was. 

I  have  manifested  thy  name  unto  the  men  whom 
thou  gavest  me  out  of  the  world  :  thine  they  were,  and 
thou  gavest  them  me;  and  they  have  kept  thy  word. 
Now  they  have  known  that  all  things  whatsoever 
Ihou  hast  given  me  are  of  thee :  for  I  have  given  unto 
them  the  words  which  thou  gavest  me;  and  they  have 
received  them,  and  have  known  surely  that  1  came 
out  from  thee,  and  they  have  believed  that  thou  didst 
send  me.  I  pray  for  them :  I  pray  not  for  the  world, 
but  for  them  whom  thou  hast  given  me ;  for  they  are 
thine.  And  all  mine  are  thine,  and  thine  are  mine; 
and  I  am  glorified  in  them.  And  now  I  am  no  more 
in  the  world  ;  but  these  are^in  the  world,  and  I  come 
to  thee.  Holy  FATHER,  keep  through  thine  own  name 
those  whom  thou  hast  given  me,  that  they  may  be 
one,  as  we  are.  While  I  was  with  them  in  the  world, 
I  kept  them  in  thy  name :  those  that  thou  gavest  me 
I  have  kept,  and  none  of  them  is  lost,  but  the  son  of 
perdition  ;  that  the  scripture  might  be  fulfilled.  And 
now  come  I  to  thee ;  and  these  things  I  speak  in  the 
world,  that  they  might  have  my  joy  fulfilled  in  them- 
selves. 

I  have  given  them  thy  word;  and  the  world  hath 
hated  them,  because  they  are  not  of  the  world,  even 
as  I  am  not  of  the  world.  I  pray  not  that  thou 
sliouldst  take  them  out  of  the  world,  but  that  thou 
shouldst  keep  them  from  the  evil.  They  are  not  of 
the  world,  even  as  I  am  not  of  the  world.  Sanctify 
them  through  thy  truth:  thy  word  is  truth.  As  thou 
hast  sent  me  into  the  world,  even  so  have  I  also  sent 
them  into  the  world :  and  for  their  sake*  I  sanctify 
myself,  that  they  also  might  be  sanctified  through  the 
truth.  Neither  pray  I  for  these  alone,  but  for  them 
also  who  shall  believe  on  me  through  their  word  :  that 
they  all  may  be  one  ;  as  thou,  FATHER,  art  in  me,  and 
1  in  thee,  that  they  also  may  be  one  in  us:  that  the 


88  THE   HOLY    SUPPER. 

world  may  believe  that,  thou  hast  sent  me.  And  the 
glory  which  thou  gavest  me  I  have  given  them ;  that 
they  may  be  one,  even  as  we  are  one :  I  in  them,  and 
thou  in  me,  that  they  may  be  made  perfect  in  one  ; 
and  that  the  world  may  know  that  thou  hast  sent  me, 
and  hast  loved  them  as  thou  hast  loved  me. 

FATHER,  I  will  that  they  also,  whom  thou  hast 
given  me,  be  with  me  where  I  am;  that  they  may 
behold  my  glory,  which  thou  hast  given  me  :  for  thou 
lovedst  me  before  the  foundation  of  the  world.  O 
righteous  FATHER,  the  world  hath  not  known  thee: 
but  I  have  known  thee,  and  these  have  known  that 
thou  hast  sent  me.  And  I  have  declared  unto  them 
thy  name,  and  will  declare  it ;  that  the  love  where- 
with thou  hast  loved  me  may  be  in  them,  and  I  in 
them.  —  John  xvii. 

JESUS  saith  to  Simon  Peter,  Simon,  son  of  Jonas, 
lovest  thou  me  more  than  these?  He  saith  unto  him, 
Yea,  LORD  ;  thou  knowest  that  I  love  thee.  He  saith 
unto  him,  Feed  my  lambs.  He  saith  to  him  again  the 
second  time,  Simon,  son  of  Jonas,  lovest  thou  me  ? 
He  saith  unto  him,  Yea,  LORD;  thou  knowest  that.  I 
love  thee.  He  saith  unto  him,  Feed  my  sheep.  He 
saith  unto  him  the  third  time,  Simon,  son  of  Jonas, 
lovest  thou  me  ?  Peter  was  grieved  because  he  said 
unto  him  the  third  time,  Lovest  thou  me?  and  he  said 
unto  him,  LORD,  thou  knowest  all  things;  thou  know- 
est that  I  love  thee.  JESUS  saith  unto  him,  Feed  my 
sheep.  —  John  xxi.  15  - 17.

MARRIAGE. 


The  persons  about  to  be  married  having  presented  themselves  before  tha 
Minister,  the  Bride  standing  on  the  riglit  hand  of  the  Bridegroom,  the 
following  instruction  may  be  given. 

WE  are  now  assembled  in  the  presence  of  our  Hea- 
venly FATHER,  to  witness  and  confirm  the  marriage 
of  A  B  and  C  D  :  Let  us  therefore  hear  the  declara- 
tions of  the  Divine  Word  concerning  the  institution 
of  Marriage. 

And  JEHOVAH  GOD  said,  It  is  not  good  that  the 
man  should  be  alone ;  I  will  make  him  a  help  meet 
for  him And  JEHOVAH  GOD  brought  the  wo- 
man unto  the  man.  And  the  man  said,  This  is  now 
bone  of  my  bones,  and  flesh  of  my  flesh.  Therefore 
shall  a  man  leave  his  father  and  his  mother,  and  shall 
cleave  unto  his  wife  :  and  they  shall  be  one  flesh. — 
Gen.  ii.  18,22-24. 

JESUS  said,  He  who  made  them  at  the  beginning, 
made  them  male  and  female  ;  and  said,  For  this  cause 
shall  a  man  leave  father  and  mother,  and  shall  cleave 
to  his  wife  :  and  they  twain  shall  be  one  flesh.  Where- 
fore they  are  no  more  twain,  but  one  flesh,  What 
therefore  GOD  hath  joined  together,  let  not  man  put 
asunder. —  Mat.  xix.  4-6 

THE  Heavenly  Doctrines  of  the  New  Jeiusalem 
teach  us  that  marriage  is  the  union  of  one  man  and 
one  woman  in  the  bonds  of  genuine  conjugial  love. 
Love  truly  conjugial  descends  from  heaven ;  and  in 
its  origin  it  is  the  union  of  the  Divine  Love  and  the 
Divine  Wisdom,  the  Divine  Goodness  and  the  Divine 
Truth,  in  the  LORD.  Hence  the  union  of  goodness 
and  truth  in  heaven  is  from  the  LORD  ;  and  this  union 
8' 


90  MARRIAGE. 

is  the  essence  of  the  heavenly  marriage,  and  the  source 
of  conjugial  love  on  earth.  In  the  Divine  Word,  the 
LORD  is  called  the  Bridegroom  and  Husband;  and 
the  Church,  the  Bride  and  Wife :  and  heaven  itself  is 
compared  to  a  Marriage. 

When  a  pair  is  united  in  love  truly  conjugial,  each 
one  loves  the  interior  affections  and  thoughts,  as  well 
as  the  outward  form  and  conduct,  of  the  other.  Thus 
each  one  loves  to  think,  to  will,  and  to  act  as  the 
other  does ;  and  in  this  manner  to  be  united  to  the 
other,  and  to  become  as  one  man  ;  according  to  the 
LORD'S  words,  "  They  twain  shall  be  one  flesh." 

Whatever  is  performed  under  the  influence  of  con- 
jugial love,  is  done  from,  a  principle  of  freedom  on 
both  sides;  for  each  party  is  in  the  enjoyment  of 
freedom,  when  each  one  loves  what  the  other  thinks, 
and  what  the  other  wills.  But  the  desire  of  exercis- 
ing dominion  in  marriage  destroys  genuine  love,  and 
takes  away  its  freedom,  and  also  its  delight. 

Marriage  is  a  holy  state;  and  to  enjoy  its  blessed- 
ness, we  must  be  delivered  from  the  love  of  self,  and 
become  principled  in  supreme  love  to  the  LORD,  and 
in  mutual  love  to  each  other.  For,  when  the  husband 
and  the  wife  are  engrossed  in  the  love  of  self,  they 
become  disjoined  and  separated,  first  in  their  interior 
affections  and  thoughts,  and  then  in  their  outward 
transactions.  But  when  they  are  principled  in  love 
to  the  LORD  and  to  one  another,  they  become  more 
and  more  conjoined  and  united,  first  in  their  affections 
and  thoughts,  and  then  in  the  ultimate  conduct  of 
life. 

In  the  primeval  ages,  conjugial  love  prevailed,  and 
ils  nature  was  well  known  ;  but  as  man  declined  into 
evil,  the  knowledge  of  it  became  obscured :  and  as  its 
state  in  man  always  runs  parallel  with  the  state  of 
the  church  in  him,  genuine  conjugial  love,  in  these 
latter  ages,  has  become  almost  a  stranger  on  the  earth. 
But  we  are  assured  that  in  the  New  Jerusalem  it  will 
be  restored,  and  will  be  among  the  chief  of  the  bless- 
ings made  accessible  to  those  who  worship  the  LORD 
JESUS  CHRIST  alone,  and  keep  his  commandments. 


MARRIAGE.  91 

THE   LORD'S  PRAYER. 

By  the  Minister  alone. 

OUR  FATHER, who  art  in  the  heavens;  Hallowed  be 
thy  name.  Thy  kingdom  come.  Thy  will  be  done, 
as  in  heaven,  so  also  upon  the  earth.  Give  us  Ihis 
tlay  our  daily  bread.  And  forgive  us  our  debts,  as  we 
also  forgive  our  debtors.  And  lead  us  not  into  tempt- 
ation; but  deliver  us  from  evil.  For  thine  is  the 
kingdom,  and  the  power,  and  the  glory,  for  ever, 
Amen. 

The  parties  standing,  the  Minister  shall  say,  A  B 
and  C  D :  The  bonds  of  marriage  are  holy  and  invio- 
lable in  the  sight  of  heaven  ;  and  you  have  come  be- 
fore the  LORD  to  enter  into  the  conjugial  covenant. 
Let  me  therefore  ask :  Do  you,  trusting  in  the  LORD, 
propose  to  enter  into  this  covenant  from  a  sincere  de- 
sire of  promoting  the  welfare  of  each  other,  for  time 
and  for  eternity? 

Each  will  answer :  —  I  do. 

To  the  Man. 

Min.     A  B :     Do  you  desire  to  have  this  woman 
for  your  wife  ? 
Answer :  —  I  do. 

To  the  Woman. 

Min.     C  D :     Are  you  willing  to  have  this  man  for 
your  husband  ? 
Answer :  —  I  am. 

To  both. 

Min.  Do  you  promise  before  the  LORD,  to  live  to- 
gether in  love;  to  be  faithful  to  each  other  through 
life;  and  to  perform  your  respective  duties,  in  the 
holy  state  into  which  you  are  about  to  enter,  accord- 
ing to  the  divine  laws  of  the  marriage  covenant? 

Answer  by  each  :  —  I  do. 


92  MARRIAGE. 

When  no  ring  is  used,  the  words,  "In  giving  this  ring,"  and  '  In  taking 
this  ring,"  are  to  be  omitted;  and  the  hands  are  to  be  joined. 

To  the  Man. 

Min.     In  giving  this  ring,  do  you,  in  the  name  of 
the  LORD,  espouse  this  woman  as  your  wife  ? 
Answer :  —  I  do. 

To  the  Woman. 

Min.     In  taking  this  ring,  do  you,  in  the  name  of 
the  LORD,  receive  this  man  as  your  husband  ? 
Answer :  —  I  do. 

When  a  ring  is  used,  the  hands  are  to  be  joined  here ;  and  the  Minister  shall 
proceed  to  say : 

Min.  Ye  are  now  Husband  and  Wife.  Ye  are 
no  more  twain,  but  one  flesh.  "  What,  therefore, 
GOD  hath  joined  together,  let  not  man  put  asunder." 

Then  the  following  prayer  may  be  used  by  the  Minister,  all  kneeling. 

O  LORD  our  Redeemer  and  Savior,  in  thee  the  Di- 
vine Love  and  the  Divine  Wisdom  are  joined  in  One. 
Thou  art  the  fountain  of  life,  and  the  source  of  con- 
jugial  love  in  Heaven  and  in  the  Church.  Thou  art 
the  Creator  of  human  pairs,  its  recipients  on  earth 
Crown,  we  beseech  thee,  with  thy  blessing,  thy  servant 
and  handmaid  now  joined  together  in  the  marriage 
covenant.  Unite  their  hearts  in  supreme  love  to 
thee,  and  in  mutual  love  to  each  other.  Open  their 
eyes  upon  the  relations  and  duties  of  the  conjugial 
state  :  sustain  them  in  the  trials  of  life  :  diminish  their 
sorrows  :  increase  their  joys:  and  confirm  them  more 
and  more  in  every  good  word  and  work.  Inspire 
them  with  true  conjugial  love  :  give  them  one  heart, 
one  mind,  and  one  way:  lead  them  in  the  paths  of 
righteousness  and  peace :  and  when  they  have  finished 
their  course  on  earth,  receive  them  into  the  celestial 
marriage  —  a  life  of  eternal  usefulness  and  happiness 
in  heaven :  Amen. 


MARRIAGE.  93 

The  parties  still  kneeling,  the  Minister  shall  rise,  and  laying  his  hands,  one 
upon  the  head  of  each,  shall  pronounce  one  of  the  following  Blessings. 

JEHOVAH  bless  you,  and  keep  you:  JEHOVAH  make 
his  face  to  shine  upon  you,  and  be  gracious  unto  you : 
JEHOVAH  lift  up  his  countenance  upon  you,  and  give 
you  peace. 

THE  blessing  of  JEHOVAH  be  upon  you  :  We  bless 
you  in  the  name  of  JEHOVAH. 

MAY  the  blessing  of  the  LORD  JESUS  CHRIST  rest 
upon  you:  May  His  peace  descend  upon  you:  May 
Hie  influence  of  His  Holy  Spirit  draw  you  nearer  and 
nearer  towards  Himself,  and  into  more  and  more  union 
of  spirit  with  each  other;  thus  rendering  your  union 
happy  here,  and  by  means  of  it  preparing  you  to  live 
hereafter  in  his  more  immediate  presence  in  blessed- 
ness for  ever. 


An  Anthem,  Selection,  or  Hymn  may  then  be  sang.

FUNERAL   SERYICE   FOR,   ADULTS. 


The  service  may  be  commenced  by  reading  one  or  more  of  the  following 
passages. 


WHAT  man  liveth,  and  shall  not  se*»  death?  Shall 
he  deliver  his  soul  from  the  hand  of  the  grave?  —  Ps. 
Ixxxix.  48. 

I  will  ransom  them  from  the  hand  of  the  grave :  I 
will  redeem  them  from  death.  O  death,  I  will  be  thy 
plagues:  O  grave,  I  will  be  thy  destruction.  —  Hos. 
xiii.  14. 

O  JEHOVAH,  make  me  to  know  mine  end, 
And  the  measure  of  my  days,  what  it  is ; 
That  I  may  know  how  frail  I  am. 
Behold,  thou  hast  made  my  days  as  an  handbreadth  ; 
And  mine  age  is  as  nothing  before  thee : 
Verily  every  man  at  his  best  state  is  altogether  vanity. 

Pa.  xxxix.  4,  5. 

HEAR  my  prayer,  O  JEHOVAH, 
And  give  ear  unto  my  cry : 
Hold  not  thy  peace  at  my  tears: 
For  I  am  a  stranger  with  thee , 
A  sojourner,  as  all  my  fathers  were. 
O  spare  me,  that  I  may  recover  strength, 
Before  I  go  hence,  and  be  no  more.  —  Ps.  xxxix.  12, 13. 

LORD,  thou  hast  been  our  dwelling  place, 
In  generation  and  generation. 
Before  the  mountains  were  brought  forth, 


FUNERAL    SERVICE    FOR   ADULTS.  95 

Or  ever  thou  hadst  formed  the  earth  and  the  world, 

Even  from  everlasting  to  everlasting,  thou  art  GOD. 

Thou  turnest  man  to  destruction  ; 

And  sayest,  Return,  ye  children  of  men. 

For  a  thousand  year?  in  thy  sight 

Are  as  yesterday  when  it  is  past, 

And  as  a  watch  in  the  night. 

Thou  earnest  them  away  as  with  a  flood; 

They  are  as  a  sleep: 

Jn  the  morning  they  are  like  grass  which  groweth  up. 

In  the  morning  it  flourisheth,  and  groweth  up; 

In  the  evening  it  is  cut  down,  and  withereth.  .  .  . 

The  days  of  our  years  are  threescore  years  and  ten ; 

And  if  by  reason  of  strength  they  be  fourscore  years, 

Yet  is  their  strength  labor  and  sorrow: 

For  it  is  soon  cut  off',  and  we  fly  away.  .  .  . 

So  teach  us  to  number  onr  days, 

That  we  may  apply  our  hearts  unto  wisdom. 

Ps.  xc.  1-6;  10,12. 

LIKE  as  a  father  pitieth  his  children, 

So  JKHOVAH  pitieth  them  that  fear  him. 

For  he  knoweth  our  frame; 

He  remembereth  that  we  are  dust. 

As  for  man,  his  days  are  as  grass: 

As  a  flower  of  the  field,  so  he  flourisheth. 

For  the  wind  passeth  over  it,  and  it  is  not; 

And  the  place  thereof  shall  know  it  no  more. 

But  the  mercy  of  JKHOVAH  is  from  everlasting  to  ever- 
lasting upon  them  that  fear  him, 

And  his  righteousness  unto  children's  children  ; 

To  such  as  keep  his  covenant, 

And  to  those  that  remember  his  commandments  to  do 
them.—  Ps.  ciii.  13-18. 

WILT  thou  show  wonders  to  the  dead? 
Shall  the  dead  arise  and  praise  thee? 

•  Ps.  Ixxxviii.  10 

Now  that  the  dead  are  raised,  even  Moses  showed 
at  the   bush,  when    he   called  the   LORD  the   GOD  of

Abraham,  and  the  GOD  ot  Isaac,  and  the  GOD  of 
Jacob".  For  he  is  not  a  GOD  of  the  dead,  but  of  the 
living:  for  to  him  all  are  living. —  Luke  xx.  37,  38. 

WHY  seek  ye  the  living  among  the  dead?  He  is 
not  here,  but  is  risen. —  Luke  xxiv.  5,  6. 

JESUS  said,  I  am  the  Resurrection,  and  the  Life. 
He  that  believeth  in  me,  though  he  were  dead,  yet 
shall  he  live  :  and  whosoever  liveth  and  believeth  in 
me,  shall  never  die.  —  John  xi.  25,  26. 

THEN  shall  the  kingdom  of  heaven  be  likened  unto 
ten  virgins,  who  took  their  lamps,  and  went  forth  to 
meet  the  bridegroom.  And  five  of  them  were  wise, 
and  five  were  foolish.  They  that  were  foolish  took 
their  lamps,  and  took  no  oil  with  them :  but  the  wise 
took  oil  in  their  vessels  with  their  lamps.  While  the 
bridegroom  tarried,  they  all  slumbered  and  slept.  And 
at  midnight  there  was  a  cry  made,  Behold,  the  bride- 
groom cometh ;  go  ye  out  to  meet  him.  Then  all 
those  virgins  arose,  and  trimmed  their  lamps.  And 
the  foolish  said  unto  the  wise,  Give  us  of  your  oil ; 
for  our  lamps  are  gone  out.  But  the  wise  answered, 
saying,  Not  so;  lest  there  be  not  enough  for  us  and 
you :  but  go  ye  rather  to  them  that  sell,  and  buy  for 
yourselves.  And  while  they  went  to  buy,  the  bride- 
groom came  ;  and  they  that  were  ready  went  in  with 
him  to  the  marriage:  and  the  door  was  shut.  After- 
ward came  also  the  other  virgins,  saying,  Lord,  Lord, 
open  to  us.  But  he  answered  and  said,  Verily  I  say 
unto  you,  I  know  you  not.  Watch  therefore,  for  ye 
know  neither  the  day  nor  the  hour  wherein  the  SON 
OF  MAN  cometh.  —  Mat.  xxv.  1  — 13. 

TAKE  ye  heed,  watch  and  pray :  for  ye  know  not 
when  the  time  is.  For  the  SON  OF  MAN  is  as  a  man 
taking  a  far  journey,  who  left  his  house,  and  gave 
authority  to  his  servants,  and  to  every  one  his  work, 
and  commanded  the  porter  to  watch.  Watch  ye

therefore;  for  ye  know  not  when  the  master  of  the 
house  cometh,  at  evening,  or  at  midnight,  or  at  the 
cock-crowing,  or  in  the  morning:  lest  coming  sud- 
denly he  find  you  sleeping.  And  what  I  say  unto 
you  I  /say  unto  all,  Watch. —  Mark  xiii.  33-37. 

AND  I  say  unto  you,  my  friends,  Be  not  afraid  of 
thorn  that  kill  the  body,  and  after  that  have  no  more 
tint  they  can  do.  But  I  will  forewarn  you  whom  ye 
shall  fear :  Fear  him  who  after  he  hath  killed  hath 
power  to  cast  into  hell;  yea,  I  say  unto  you,  fear  him. 
Are  not  five  sparrows  sold  for  two  farthings?  and  not 
one  of  them  is  forgotten  before  GOD.  But  even  the 
very  hairs  of  your  head  are  all  numbered.  Fear  not 
therefore:  ye  are  of  more  value  than  many  sparrows. 
—  Luke  xii.  4-7. 

LAY  not  up  for  yourselves  treasures  upon  earth, 
where  moth  and  rust  doth  corrupt,  and  where  thieves 
break  through  and  steal ;  but  lay  up  for  yourselves 
treasures  in  heaven,  where  neither  moth  nor  rust  doth 
corrupt,  and  where  thieves  do  not  break  through  nor 
steal :  for  where  your  treasure  is,  there  will  your  heart 
be  also.  —  Mat.  vi.  19  -  21. 

AND  seek  not  ye  what  ye  shall  eat,  or  what  ye  shall 
drink,  neither  be  ye  of  doubtful  mind.  For  all  these 
things  do  the  nations  of  the  world  seek  after:  and 
your  FATHER  knoweth  that  ye  have  need  of  these 
things.  But  rather  seek  ye  the  kingdom  of  GOD;  and 
all  these  things  shall  be  added  unto  you.  Fear  not, 
little  flock  ;  for  it  is  your  FATHER'S  good  pleasure  to 
give  yon  the  kingdom.  Sell  what  ye  have,  and  give 
alms;  provide  yourselves  bags  which  wax  not  old,  a 
treasure  in  the  heavens  that  faileth  not,  where  no  thief 
approacheth,  neither  moth  corrupteth.  For  where 
yonr  treasure  is,  there  will  your  heart  be  also. 

Let  your  loins   be  girded   about,   and   your  lights

unto  him  immediately.  Blessed  are  those  servants, 
whom  the  lord  when  he  cometh  shall  find  watching: 
verily  I  say  unto  you,  that  he  shall  gird  himself,  and 
make  them  to  sit  down  to  meat,  and  will  come  forth 
and  serve  them.  And  if  he  shall  come  in  the  second 
watch,  or  come  in  the  third  watch,  and  find  them  so, 
blessed  are  those  servants.  And  this  know,  that  if  the 
master  of  the  house  had  known  what  hour  the  thief 
would  come,  he  would  have  watched,  and  not  have 
suffered  his  house  to  be  broken  through.  Be  ye  there- 
fore ready  also:  for  the  SON  of  MAN  cometh  at  an 
hour  when  ye  think  not.  —  Luke  xii.  29  —  40. 

LET  not  your  heart  be  troubled  :  ye  believe  in  GOD, 
believe  also  in  me.  In  my  FATHER'S  house  are  many 
mansions ;  if  not,  I  would  have  told  you  :  I  go  to 
prepare  a  place  for  you.  And  if  I  go  and  prepare  a 
place  for  you,  I  will  come  again,  and  receive  you 
unto  myself;  that  where  I  am,  ye  may  be  also. — 
John  xiv.  1  —  3. 

AND  I  heard  a  voice  from  heaven  saying  unto  me, 
Write,  Blessed  are  the  dead  who  die  in  the  LORD  from 
henceforth.  Yea,  saith  the  Spirit,  that  they  may  rest 
from  their  labors;  and  their  works  do  follow  with 
them.  —  Rev.  xiv.  13. 

HE  that  is  unjust,  let  him  be  unjust  still :  and  he 
that  is  filthy,  let  him  be  filthy  still :  and  he  that  is 
righteous,  let  him  be  righteous  still:  and  he  that  is 
holy,  let  him  be  holy  still.  Behold,  I  come  quickly  ; 
and  my  reward  is  with  me,  to  give  every  one  ac- 
cording as  his  work  shall  be.  I  am  the  ALPHA  and 
the  OMEGA,  the  BEGINNING  and  the  END,  the  FIRST 
and  the  LAST.  Blessed  are  they  that  do  his  com- 
mandments; that  they  may  have  right  to  the  tree  of 
life,  and  may  enter  in  through  the  gates  into  the  city.

FUNERAL   SERVICE   FOR   ADULTS.  99 

Such  parts  of  the  following  Instruction  may  then  be  read  as  the  person 
officiating  thinks  proper. 

HK  who  seeth  our  substance  yet  being  imperfect, 
and  in  whose  book  all  our  days  are  written —  He  who 
seeth  the  end  from  the  beginning,  who  knoweth  what 
is  in  man,  by  whom  the  very  hairs  of  our  heads  are 
all  numbered,  and  before  whom  stand  always  present 
and  together  in  their  order  the  most  minute  things  of 
our  life  from  the  commencement  of  our  existence  to 
eternity  —  He  who  is  Love  itself,  and  who  hath  all 
power  in  heaven  and  in  earth,  has  permitted  the  re- 
moval of  our  friend  and  brother  from  this  world  of 
nature  to  the  world  of  spirits.  By  His  permission,  he. 
has  changed  his  state  of  existence;  he  has  thrown  off 
his  material  covering  adapted  to  the  duties  and  the 
uses  of  this  material  world,  and  which  is  therefore  now 
no  longer  needed,  and  is  rising  in  his  spiritual  body, 
which  is  adapted  to  the  duties  and  the  uses  of  the 
spiritual  world.  "  The  dust  returns  to  the  earth  as  it 
was,  and  the  spirit  is  returning  to  GOD  who  gave  it." 

Of  this  great  change,  all  that  is  visible  to  our  eyes, 
or  perceivable  by  any  of  our  organs  of  sense,  is  the 
work  of  destruction  and  of  death.  Being  themselves 
formed  from  the  substances  of  this  world,  these  organs 
can  perceive  only  the  substances  of  this  world.  They 
can  perceive  therefore  only  the  body  which  has  been 
left.  And  in  looking  upon  this  body,  we  behold  the 
eyes  closed  and  lifeless.  The  tongue  is  silent ;  and 
the  whole  form  is  motionless  and  cold.  We  therefore 
call  this  change  death  ;  and  that  part  of  our  minds 
which  is  in  immediate  connection  with  these  senses, 
dwells  only  upon  the  picture  of  what  is  material  in  it. 
Thus  our  merely  natural  affections  feel  an  aching 
void ;  and  our  natural  thoughts  are  filled  with  the 
idea  of  a  total  separation  from  the  object  of  our 
affection,  and  dwell  upon  the  acts  and  sufferings  of 
the  body  put  off — upon  what  it  once  was,  and  what 
it  now  is 

But  to  the  eyes  of  angels  and  of  spirits,  all  that  is 
visible  is  the  work  of  creation  and  of  life.  For  they 
see  nothing  of  the  body  that  i>  left,  but  behold  only  a

human  being  awakening  into  life.  They  are  witness- 
ing  a  resurrection  ;  they  are  greeting  a  new  eompa« 
nion,  and  welcoming  a  spirit  newly  born  into  their 
world.  And  all  that  in  us  which  is  in  common  with 
the  angels,  and  makes  one  with  their  state  —  all  those 
affections  which  have  the  LORD  and  His  kingdom  ibr 
their  objects,  and  all  those  thoughts  which  delight  to 
soar  into  eternity  and  to  behold  the  things  of  eternal 
life  —  all  that  affection  for  him  that,  has  left  us,  which 
regards  chiefly  his  spiritual  welfare  instead  of  our  own 
gratification,  and  thus  makes  one  with  his  state  — 
all  that  in  us  which  "  seeks  first  the  kingdom  of  GOD 
and  his  righteousness  "  —  all  this  looks  upon  the  event 
as  angels  do ;  for  it  sees  it  from  the  same  point  of 
position  with  them,  viewing  it  from  the  other  side  of 
the  grave.  All  spiritual  affection  sees  with  the  eye 
of  faith.  It  loves  to  dwell  upon  the  freed  spirit,  re- 
joices in  its  welfare,  and  delights  to  accompany  it  in 
its  resurrection  to  the  mansions  of  eternal  life. 

And  in  order  that  these  spiritual  realities  may  pre- 
vail over  the  natural  appearances  with  men,  and  that 
spiritual  affections  may  rule  within  their  natural  af- 
fections and  make  them  to  be  living,  the  LORD  Him- 
self teaches  distinctly  in  His  Word,  that  the  dead  are 
raised — that  the  GOD  of  Abraham,  the  GOD  of  Isaac, 
and  the  GOD  of  Jacob,  is  not  the  GOD  of  the  dead, 
but  of  the  living — that  He  is  not  the  GOD  of  shape- 
less phantoms,  but  of  human  beings.  He  rose  Him- 
self also  from  the  sepulchre  on  the  third  day,  and  as- 
cended into  heaven ;  thus  actually  exhibiting  what 
we  call  death  as  it  really  is  in  itself,  as  it  was  with 
Him,  and  hence  as  it  is  with  all  those  who  live  from 
Elirn  according  to  his  commandments,  a  resurrection 
into  a  higher  and  more  interior  state  of  existence.  He 
also  reveals  in  His  Word,  that  man's  permanent  state 
of  existence  is  not  in  this  world,  and  that  it  is  of  di- 
vine order  that  all  should  pass  from  their  preparatory 
state  here  to  their  home  in  the  spiritual  world.  For 
He  says  therein  in  relation  to  Himself,  "  The  hour  is 
come  that  the  SON  OF  MAN  should  be  glorified.  Ve- 
rily, verily,  I  say  unto  you,  Except  a  corn  of  wheat

fall  into  the  ground  and  die,  it  abideth  alone:  but  if 
it  die,  it  bringeth  forth  much  fruit:"  [thus  teaching 
that  in  all  spiritual  and  natural  growth,  it  is  necessary 
for  that  which  is  external  or  lower  to  be  put  off,  in 
order  that  what  is  internal  or  higher  may  come  forth 
and  flourish.  And  from  this  we  may  learn  in  relation 
to  ourselves,  that  what  is  external  with  us  is  given 
for  the  sake  of  what  is  internal ;  that  what  is  worldly 
and  temporal  is  given  for  the  sake  of  what  is  spiritual 
and  eternal ;  and  that  when  the  former  has  performed 
its  use  towards  the  formation  and  development  of 
the  latter,  it  must  pass  away,  that  what  is  living  may 
come  forth  from  within,  and  may  grow  and  act  in 
freedom.  Our  material  bodies  are  given  to  envelop 
and  protect  the  soul  or  spirit  within,  during  its  form- 
ation and  growth,  during  the  period  of  its  preparation 
for  living  separate  and  of  itself  to  eternity.  Natural 
life  envelops  and  protects  spiritual  life  while  it  is  yet 
in  its  germ.  Natural  affections  surround  and  protect 
spiritual  affections  while  they  are  yet  in  embryo,  and 
give  them  support  and  nourishment  during  their  effort 
to  be  born  and  to  come  forth  into  independent  exist- 
ence; as  the  seed  covers  and  protects  the  germ,  and 
gives  it  support  and  nourishment  during  the  period 
of  its  first  starting  and  rising  above  the  ground  into 
the  light  of  day.  But  when  this  uso  is  performed,  it 
is  of  divine  order  that  natural  life,  the  life  in  this 
world,  should  cease  to  be  man's  actual  life;  that  is, 
should  as  it  were  come  to  its  end ;  as  the  external  of 
the  seed  is  cast  off  after  the  germ  has  corne  forth. 
Indeed,  all  progress  to  eternity,  even  the  perpetual 
advancement  of  angels,  consists  in  laying  aside  the 
lower  and  more  external  things  of  their  life,  as  higher 
or  more  internal  things  are  received,  and  by  their 
means  have  become  formed  within  them.  The  things 
which  are  of  self,  which  partake  of  their  own  proper 
life,  are  for  ever  passing  away,  as  things  from  the 
LORD  are  for  ever  being  received  and  coming  to  matu- 
rity in  them.  For  men  were  created  to  be  images  and 
likenesses  of  Him  who  is  a  Spirit,  to  enjoy  the  in- 
terior blessedness  of  spiritual  existence  in  the  light  of 
9*

His  countenance,  to  breathe  the  purer  and  living  at- 
mosphere of  heaven,  to  rejoice  in  the  light  of  interior 
wisdom,  and  be  blessed  with  the  life  of  heavenly 
love.  They  were  created  to  live  with  life  unchanged 
and  unperverted  from  the  Fountain  of  life  —  with  life 
which  is  truly  such,  and  therefore  never-ending  — 
with  life  which  finds  its  constant  delight  in  acts  of 
more  elevated  and  interior  and  extensive  usefulness. 
They  were  created  to  be  ministers  of  Him  who  made 
them,  doing  the  pleasure  of  Him  who  is  always  doing 
mercy.-  They  were  not  created  for  this  world,  but 
this  world  for  them ;  as  it  is  written  in  John,  "  They 
are  not  of  the  world,  even  as  I  am  not  of  the  world." 
And  they  begin  their  existence  here,  and  remain  here 
for  a  brief  period,  merely  that  they  may  be  prepared 
for  their  eternal  home  — that  the  lower  or  more  exter- 
nal principles  of  their  minds  may  be  drawn  into  exer- 
cise by  the  things  of  the  world,  may  become  formed 
and  developed  by  worldly  uses,  by  doing  the  LORD'S 
will  on  earth,  and  thus  be  prepared  as  foundations  on 
which  the  higher  and  more  internal  principles,  which 
are  to  come  into  use  and  exercise  hereafter,  may 
stand  firmly  fixed,  and  thus  that  their  life  here  may 
become  a  suitable  basis  on  which  their  higher  and 
eternal  life  hereafter  may  for  ever  securely  rest.  This 
is  the  divine  purpose  with  regard  to  men  ;  this  is  the 
order  of  the  Divine  Providence  of  the  LORD,  the  order 
of  His  infinite  wisdom  and  of  His  infinitely  pure  and 
ardent  love  in  relation  to  them.  Even  with  respect  to 
those  who  choose  while  here  to  live  contrary  to  the  di- 
vine purpose,  to  do  their  own  wills,  and  to  live  accord- 
ing to  their  own  natural  inclinations,  and  thus  prepare 
for  themselves  the  foundations  of  an  unhappy  aid 
more  interiorly  evil  life  hereafter  for  ever,  even  wiih 
regard  to  these,  it  is  still  better  for  them  and  for  all 
that  they  should  live  among  their  like,  and  corne  more 
fully  and  freely  into  the  kind  of  life  which  they  have 
chosen.  There  is  in  the  hearts  of  all  men,  both  good 
and  evil,  a  deep  and  secret  yearning  for  more  freedom 
and  fulness  of  the  kind  of  life  which  they  have  chosen 
to  be  their  life  —  for  a  more  full  and  free  exercise  of 


FtNERAL    SERVICE    FOR    ADULTS.  103 

that  kind  of  delight  which  they  have  chosen  to  be 
their  delight.  But  with  regard  to  those,  who,  by  de- 
nying themselves,  by  ceasing  to  do  their  own  wills, 
and  compelling  themselves  to  do  the  LORD'S  will,  and 
to  act  while  here  according  to  His  precepts,  it  must 
surely  be,  that  they  can  be  unspeakably  more  blessed 
by  coming  into  the  more  immediate  presence  and 
perception  of  Him  whom  they  have  chosen  to  be  their 
GOD,  and  whom  they  in  reality  and  above  all  else 
love ;  it  must  surely  be,  that  they  can  more  fully  and 
truly  live  by  drawing  more  near  to  Him  who,  they 
know  and  feel,  is  Life  itself.  Indeed  the  great  object 
of  the  Divine  Love,  which  is  a  heaven  of  human  be- 
ings whom  He  can  fill  with  blessedness  to  eternity, 
cannot  be  accomplished  unless  they  are  removed 
hence  to  fill  their  appointed  place  in  heaven — to  oc- 
cupy their  permanent  and  provided  mansion  in  the 
FATHER'S  house.  It  is  thus  the  divine  order  with  all 
men,  that  they  should  leave  this  world  —  that  their 
connection  with  that  body  which  is  of  the  substance 
of  this  world,  and  which  is  of  no  other  use  than  to 
enable  them  to  act  in  this  world,  should  be  severed  — 
that  their  spirits  should  break  forth  from  their  material 
covering  in  order  to  come  into  a  more  elevated  or 
more  interior  state  of  existence,  as  the  germ  breaks 
forth  in  the  planted  seed  and  casts  off  its  outward 
covering,  before  it  can  rise  above  the  ground,  and 
grow  up  towards  heaven  in  the  light  of  day.] 

But  notwithstanding  it  is  thus  revealed  in  the  Word 
that  this  is  the  divine  order  in  relation  to  all  men, 
notwithstanding  the  Gospel  makes  known  a  resur- 
rection and  a  life  beyond  the  -grave,  a  divinely  ap- 
pointed and  permanent  home,  yet  such  is  the  state  of 
men,  and  such  the  power  with  them  of  sensual  ap- 
pearances, that  the  life  in  the  spiritual  world  seems 
phantomlike  and  unreal.  In  order,  therefore,  that 
men  may  be  raised  above  these  appearances  to  the 
senses,  and  may  come  to  realize  and  be  interested  in 
their  spiritual,  their  real,  and  eternal  state  of  existence, 
the  LOUD  in  His  mercy  has  in  these  latter  days  caused 
His  Word  to  be  opened,  and  the  seven  *("\ls  of  Hia

Book  to  be  loosed.  He  has  caused  the  interior  things 
of  it  to  be  revealed,  whereby  spiritual  realities  are 
made  manifest.  He  has  caused  light  to  break  forth 
from  within,  its  interior  light  to  shine  forth,  in  which 
light  alone  the  interior  things  of  His  creation  can  be 
seen  and  understood  ;  and  thus  the  spiritual  world, 
which  is  an  interior  world,  and  therefore  the  real  and 
eternal  world,  is  brought  forth  to  view.  The  doctrine 
of  the  resurrection,  which  in  its  general  is  contained 
in  the  letter  of  the  Word,  is  now  unfolded  as  to  tho 
particulars  contained  within  it.  It  is  now  made  pos- 
sible for  us  with  the  eyes  of  our  understandings  to 
view  death  as  angels  do,  who  see  it  from  the  other 
side  of  the  grave ;  that  while  we  are  viewing  with 
our  natural  eyes  that  side  of  this  event  which  is  turned 
towards  the  earth,  unilluminated,  cold,  and  dark,  we 
may  with  the  eyes  of  our  spirits  also  behold  that  side 
which  is  turned  towards  the  Sun  of  heaven,  warmed 
by  the  love  or  mercy  and  brightened  with  the  wisdom 
of"  his  rays. 

From  the  revelations  now  made,  we  learn,  that  as 
soon  as  the  life  has  departed  from  the  inmost  fibres, 
and  the  spirit  has  become  entirely  separated  from  its 
most  intricate  connections  with  the  body,  which 
generally  takes  place  on  the  third  day  after  the  heart 
has  ceased  to  beat,  the  spirit  rises  free  in  the  world  ot 
spirits.  This  resurrection  is  effected  by  the  LORD 
through  the  ministry  of  angels,  who  in  a  manner 
most  wonderful,  with  love  ineffable  and  gentleness 
indescribable,  disengage  every  part  and  portion  of  the 
spirit,  not  only  from  all  its  connections  with  the  more 
external  parts  of  the  body,  but  also  from  its  most,  se- 
cret and  delicate  intertwinings  with  the  inmost  fibrils 
of  it.  For  the  angels  are  recipients  and  thus  commu- 
nicators of  the  divine  love  and  mercy,  which  with  its 
living  and  powerful  attraction  draws  forth  every  thing 
living  about  the  man,  so  that  nothing  vital  can  re- 
main behind.  And  when  he  is  raised  up  fully,  and 
into  the  freedom  of  life  in  that  world,  his  attending 
angels  do  not  leave  him  — do  not  separate  themselves 
from  him  and  go  away ;  for  angels  Jove  every  one,  and 


FUNERAL  SERVICE  FOR  ADULTS.        105 

desire  nothing  more  than  to  do  him  service,  to  instruct, 
and  convey  him  to  heaven.  But  the  man  himself, 
whose  state  as  to  goodness  of  life  is  not  such,  or  is 
not  as  yet  such,  as  to  enjoy  a  long  continuance  in 
association  with  those  who  are  in  states  so  elevated, 
dissociates  himself  from  them.  At  first,  then,  after 
leaving  his  attending  angels,  he  comes  into  the  soci- 
ety of  good  spirits ;  and  if  he  chooses  not  to  remain 
with  these,  then  into  society  with  those  whose  state 
is  less  elevated,  until  he  finds  associates  so  far  re- 
sembling himself,  that  he  can  have  delight  and  receive 
advantage  from  continuing  with  them  during  this  his 
first  state  in  the  spiritual  world  Thus  he  rises  a  man 
as  before,  and  is  seen  by  the  inhabitants  of  that  world, 
and  they  are  seen  by  him,  in  human  form,  as  the  in- 
habitants of  this  world  are  seen  by  each  other.  He 
rises  indeed  with  a  spiritual  body,  a  body  formed  not 
of  material  but  spiritual  substances,  a  body  therefore 
invisible  to  our  material  eyes,  but  yet  seen  and  known 
by  spirits  in  all  respects  as  fully  as  men  in  this  world 
are  seen  and  known  by  men.  The  spirit  thus  raised 
enters  that,  world  with  the  same  prevailing  character, 
with  affections  and  thoughts  essentially  the  same  with 
those  which  marked  him  while  here,  and  consequently 
he  is  as  properly  an  object  of  our  interest  and  affec- 
tion as  he  was  while  here.  Indeed  he  comes  actually 
into  company,  into  manifest  association,  with  those 
spirits  who  were  secretly  in  connection  with  him  while 
he 'was  in  this  world,  and  through  whom  he  received 
those  affections  and  thoughts  which  made  him  while 
here  to  be  what,  he  was.  He  thus  comes  at  first 
among  tho<e  who  are  of  the  same  character  with 
himself,  who  love  what  he  loves,  and  think  as  he 
thinks;  and,  therefore,  among  those  who  seem,  and 
indeed  are,  entirely  familiar  to  him,  and  with  whom 
he  feels  at  home. 

But  as  he  is  now  in  a  spiritual  world,  a  more  living 
world,  his  mind  becomes  more  and  more  developed. 
He  comes  more  and  more  into  his  real  character. 
The  things  within,  in  the  secret  recesses  of  the  heart, 
begin  to  come  forth.  All  the  more  external  things  of 


106  FUNERAL   SERVICE   FOR   ADULTS. 

the  spirit  which  are  inconsistent  with  these  are  put 
away.  The  whole  man  comes  into  a  state  of  con- 
sistency with  himself.  V7hat  in  this  world  was  se- 
cret, there  at  length  comes  to  light ;  what  was  hid- 
den in  the  heart  is  there  known  and  comes  abroad: 
the  secret  ends  and  purposes  become  there  open  and 
manifest  ones;  the  inmost,  desires  show  themselves 
in  speech  and  act,  and  the  great  objects  of  the  love 
are  openly  sought  by  ail  the  powers  and  faculties  of 
the  man.  If  it  was  the  sincere  desire  and  purpose  of 
his  heart,  if  it  was  his  end,  while  here,  to  do  the 
LORD'S  will  and  to  be  prepared  for  His  kingdom  in 
the  heavens,  all  more  external  or  inferior  desires  which 
thwarted  his  great  or  inward  purpose,  and  obstructed 
his  path  to  heaven  in  which  he  was  endeavoring  to 
walk  —  all  views  of  things  which  here  appeared  to 
him  to  be  true,  but  yet  were  false  and  opposed  to 
heaven,  are  there  seen  to  be  what  they  are,  and  are 
cheerfully  renounced;  and  thus  the  angel-man  within 
comes  forth  and  breathes  and  acts  in  freedom,  and 
makes  him  an  angel-man  without,  fitted  for  the  bless- 
edness of  eternal  consociation  with  angels  of  a  similar 
character  in  heaven.  But  if  his  great  end  and  hidden 
ruling  purpose  while  here  was  only  the  good  of  him- 
self, and  of  those  whom  he  regarded  as  parts  of  him- 
self, if  his  heart  sought  first  the  things  which  belong 
to  this  world,  then  this  inward  character  and  ruling 
love  comes  forth  there,  and  all  appearances  of  good- 
ness and  of  truth,  all  his  more  external  affections 
which  here  may  have  seemed  so  kind  and  so  good,  all 
his  thoughts  and  conversation  which  here  may  have 
seemed  so  brilliant  and  so  true,  are  there  renounced 
as  mere  obstructions  in  his  path  :  the  evil  spirit  within 
shows  himself  to  be  an  evil  spirit  without ;  and  he 
becomes  fitted  for  eternal  association  with  those  who 
are  like  himself,  with  them  to  enter  into  their  appro- 
priate abodes  in  hell. 

To  him,  therefore,  who  views  this  event  in  this  spi- 
ritual light  which  shines  forth  from  the  Word  now 
opened  by  the  LORD,  it  cannot  but  be  seen  either  as 
the  work  or  the  permission  of  the  Divine  Mercy.  For 


FUNERAL   SERVICE    FOR,    ADULTS.  107 

this  light  is  the  light  of  the  Divine  Love  or  Mercy ; 
and  it  cannot  but  reveal  and  make  manifest  the 
mercy  which  always  secretly  rules  in  every  event. 
Hence,  at  the  departure  of  those  who  have  loved  the 
LORD  and  His  Word,  and  have  sought  first  while  in 
this  world  the  kingdom  of  GOD  and  His  righteous- 
ness, the  spiritual  man  rejoices;  because  they  are 
about  to  enter  upon  a  higher  and  purer,  a  more 
blessed  and  happy  state  of  life  ;  because  they  can 
render  to  those  who  remain  here  more  efficient,  more 
constant,  and  far  more  important  service  —  a  service 
which  has  heaven  for  its  object,  eternity  for  its  end; 
and  because  the  whole  heaven,  the  whole  kingdom  of 
the  LORD,  becomes  more  perfect  at  the  reception  of 
every  new  inhabitant.  And  at  the  departure  of  the 
evil  he  cannot  lastingly  mourn  ;  for  he  knows  that 
they  have  been  removed  at  the  moment  most  favor- 
able to  their  eternal  condition,  at  the  lightest  possible 
degree  of  the  life  which  they  had  chosen,  at  the  earli- 
est point  therein  at  which  they  could  be  made  willing 
to  stop,  before  they  had  laid  the  foundations  of  a 
deeper  state  of  condemnation.  It  is  only  as  our  af- 
fections and  thoughts  rest  upon  earth,  that  clouds  and 
darkness  surround  this  event  of  the  Divine  Provi- 
dence, and  we  are  enveloped  with  the  gloom  of  fune- 
real sadness :  but  as  our  interests  rise  towards  heavenly 
things,  mourning  vanishes;  as  we  ascend  above  the 
clouds,  there  is  nothing  to  obstruct  the  pure  sunshine 
of  heaven. 

But  all  that  proceeds  from  the  LORD,  all  his  opera- 
tions, and  all  his  permissions,  are  infinite  and  eternal, 
and  hence  universal.  They  are  not  limited  to  one.  but 
affect  all,  and  open  new  duties  in  all  and  towards  all. 
He  has  permitted  our  brother  to  be  removed,  not  only 
as  a  means  of  good  to  him  and  to  all  in  that  world 
to  which  he  has  gone,  but  to  all  in  this  world  also, 
more  especially  to  those  who  have  been  closely  asso- 
ciated with  him,  yet  in  some  degree  to  every  one  of  us 
who  are  here  present  this  day.  This  event  has  been 
permitted,  to  enable  us  more  fully  to  realize  the  exist- 
ence of  the  world  to  which  he  has  gone,  that  it  may  be 


108  FUNERAL   SERVICE   FOR   ADULTS. 

more  present  to  us,  and  be  more  regarded  by  us  ;  tiiai 
by  his  being  carried  upwards,  all  the  feelings  and 
thoughts  in  us  which  are  connected  with  him  may  be 
carried  upwards  with  him;  that  our  grasp  upon  this 
world  may  be  loosened,  our  love  for  the  things  of  it 
may  be  made  subservient  to  a  love  for  the  things  of 
the  eternal  world  —  to  lessen  our  anxiety  respecting 
"  what  we  shall  eat.  or  what  we  shall  drink,  or  where- 
withal we  shall  be  clothed,"  and  thus  enable  us  to 
"  seek  first  the  kingdom  of  GOD  and  His  righteousness." 

And  in  particular  with  regard  to  those  of  us  who 
are  bound  to  him  that  has  gone  with  the  bonds  of 
strong  affection,  his  natural  connection  with  us  has 
been  permitted  to  be  severed,  not  that  this  affection 
may  be  in  any  degree  lessened,  but  that  it  may  be 
changed;  not  that  any  thing  of  it  may  be  lost,  but 
that  it  may  be  renewed ;  that  it  may  become  the  love 
of  his  eternal  welfare ;  that  by  our  hearts  following 
him  to  his  appointed  mansion  in  the  Father's  house, 
to  the  home  of  his  eternal  use  in  heaven,  it  may  be- 
come a  love  of  that  good,  which  it  is  his  eternal  de- 
light to  contribute  towards  the  happiness  and  pros- 
perity of  the  universal  kingdom  of  the  LORD.  The 
infirm  body  of  our  love  for  him,  the  impure  natural 
part  of  our  affection  for  him,  indeed  dies;  for  this 
body  is  from  ourselves.  But  with  regard  to  all  that 
is  pure  and  disinterested,  with  regard  to  all  that  is 
spiritual  and  living,  all  that  is  from  the  LORD  in  it, 
not  a  hair  of  the  head  shall  perish ;  but  it  rises  again 
stronger  and  purer  than  before. 

Thus  in  relation  to  every  one  of  us,  the  death  and 
resurrection  of  our  brother  is  intended  to  produce  a 
change  in  our  minds  corresponding  with  ihat  through 
which  he  is  now  passing.  It  is  intended  to  produce 
death  and  resurrection  there  —  a  death  of  what  is 
gross,  external,  corporeal,  and  earthly  in  our  affections, 
and  a  resurrection  into  fuller  life  and  freer  activity  of 
all  that  is  pure,  internal,  spiritual,  and  immortal  in 
them.  So  that  every  death  that  occurs  around  us  is 
intended  to  lift  us  up  one  step  at.  least  towards  hea- 
ven—  to  advance  us  one  step  at  least  in  our  prepara-

tion  for  our  own  full  and  final  departure  hence.  For 
by  perpetual  deaths  and  resurrections  of  Ihis  spirit- 
ual kind,  even  the  angels  are  perpetually  advancing. 
They  are  perpetually  dying  as  to  themselves,  and 
living  again  as  to  the  LORD.  They  are  perpetually 
leaving  what  is  finite,  impure,  and  imperfect,  and  ris- 
ing again  towards  what  is  infinite  and  pure  ancj 
perfect.  Their  advancement  for  ever  into  more  and 
more  interior  states,  and  hence  into  more  and  more 
fulness  of  that  degree  of  life  which  they  are  able  to  re- 
ceive, and  thus  their  advancement  in  purity  and  bless- 
edness for  ever,  is  by  their  continually  applying  and 
appropriating,  by  their  continually  living,  the  hea- 
venly meaning  of  these  words  of  the  LORD,  as  they  at 
first  became  angels  by  living  out  their  natural  mean- 
ing while  on  earth:  "  He  that  loveth  father  or  mother 
more  than  me,  is  not  worthy  of  me  :  and  he  that  lov- 
eth son  or  daughter  more  than  me,  is  not  worthy  of 
rne :  and  he  that  taketh  not  his  cross,  and  followeth 
after  me,  is  not  worthy  of  me.  He  that  findeth  his 
life  shall  lose  it ;  and  he  that  loseth  his  life  for  rny 
sake  shall  find  it." 


Then  the  following  prayor,  or  the  Lord's  Prayer,  or  both,  may  be  used. 

O  LORD  GOD  of  our  fathers,  most  merciful  LORD 
JESUS  CHRIST,  in  whose  presence  the  living  and  the 
dead  are  standing  together,  to  whom  all  are  alive,  and 
with  whom  there  is  no  death,  through  whose  tender 
mercy,  in  these  latter  times,  the  day-spring  from  on 
liii^h  hath  visited  us,  to  give  light  to  them  that  sit  in 
darkness  and  the  shadow  of  death,  to  guide  our  feet 
in  the  \vay  of  peace;  give  us  to  see  in  this  as  in  all 
thi!  dispensations  of  thy  wisdom,  the  bright  footsteps 
of  an  all-merciful  providence,  which  in  every  act  of 
apparent  destruction,  doth  but  further  the  progress  of 
;in  eternal  creation,  and  through  the  death  of  this  life, 
doth  bestow  the  life  of  a  heavenly  kingdom.  ()  cause, 
we  beseech  thee,  that  this  solemn  visitation  may 
deeply  impress  us  with  the  uncertainty  of  our  own

perishable  state,  and  the  necessity  of  preparing  for  the 
concerns  of  an  eternal  world  ;  and  seeing  that  the  axe 
is  laid  unto  the  root  of  the  trees,  may  we,  without 
delay,  strive  to  bring  forth  fruits  worthy  of  repentance. 
Grant,  O  LORD,  that  we  may  watch  as  becometh 
those  who  know  not  the  hour  in  which  the  Sox  OF 
MAN  cometh  ;  and  that  following  thee  in  the  regenera- 
tion, when  the  cry  shall  be  made  at  midnight,  "  Be- 
hold, the  bridegroom  cometh,  go  ye  out  to  meet  hi  in," 
being  ready,  with  our  lamps  trimmed  and  filled  with 
oil,  we  may  enter  with  him  to  the  marriage.  We  ask 
this,  O  LORD,  in  thine  own  name,  and  for  thy  divine 
mercy's  sake.  Amen. 

OUR  FATHER,  who  art  in  the  heavens;  Hallowed  be 
thy  name.  Thy  kingdom  come.  Thy  will  be  done, 
as  in  heaven,  so  also  upon  the  earth.  Give  us  this 
day  our  daily  bread.  And  forgive  us  our  debts,  as 
we  also  forgive  our  debtors.  And  lead  us  not  into 
temptation  ;  but  deliver  us  from  evil.  For  thine  19 
the  kingdom,  and  the  power,  and  the  glory,  for  ever: 
AMEN.

this  his  earthly  tenement,  never  again  to  be  occupied 
by  him.  As  "  he  is  not  here,  but  is  risen,"  let  us  in 
our  thoughts  and  feelings  no  longer  tarry  here,  nor

which  he  was  bound  to  us  in  love,  rise  upwards  with

The  service  may  be  commenced  by  reading  such  passages  of  the  Word 
from  the  Funeral  Service  for  Adults  as  the  person  officiating  shall  think 
proper,  together  with  one  or  more  of  the  following  passages. 


AND  they  brought  unto  him  also  infants,  that  he 
would  touch  them  :  but  when  his  disciples  saw  it, 
they  rebuked  them.  But  JESUS  called  them,  and  said, 
Suffer  little  children  to  come  ur.to  me,  and  forbid  them 
not  :  for  of  such  is  the  kingdom  of  GOD.  Verily  I 
say  unto  you,  Whosoever  shall  not  receive  the  king- 
dom of  GOD  as  a  little  child,  shall  in  no  wise  enter 
therein.  —Luke  xviii.  15  —  17. 

AT  the  same  time  came  the  disciples  unto  JESUS, 
saying,  Who  is  the  greatest  in  the  kingdom  of  hea- 
ven ?  And  JESUS  called  a  little  child  unto  him,  and 
set  him  in  the  midst  of  them,  and  said,  Verily  I  say 
unto  you,  Except  ye  be  converted,  and  become  as  lit- 
tle children,  ye  shall  not  enter  into  the  kingdom  of 
heaven.  Whosoever,  therefore,  shall  humble  himself 
as  this  little  child,  the  same  is  greatest  in  the  king- 
dom of  heaven.  And  whoso  shall  receive  one  such  lit- 
tle child  in  my  name,  receiveth  me. —  Mat.  xviii.  1-5. 

TAKE  heed  that  ye  despise  not  one  of  these  little 
ones ;  for  I  say  unto  you,  that  their  angels  in  heaven 
do  always  behold  the  face  of  my  FATHER  who  is  in 
heaven. 

Even  so  it  is  not  the  will  of  your  FATHER  who  is 
in  heaven,  that  one  of  these  little  ones  should  perish,

A  Selection  or  Hymn  may  now  be  sung,  if  convenient. 
Then  may  be  read  a  part  or  the  whole  of  the  following  Instruction. 

WE  are  told  ir.  the  Sacred  Scripture,  that  not  a 
sparrow  falls  to  the  ground,  without  the  notice  of  our 
Heavenly  Father;  and  that  even  the  very  hairs  of  our 
heads  are  all  numbered.  From  this  it  i.s  plain  that 
the  Divine  Providence  of  the  LORD  watches  over 
every  human  being,  from  the  first  moment  of  his  life 
to  the  last;  and  nothing  happens  to  him  by  chance, 
but  every  thing  that  takes  place  is  by  the  providence 
or  permission  of  the  LORD.  Every  event  of  life  is  so 
ordered  by  infinite  love  and  wisdom,  that,  if  rightly 
improved  by  man,  it  will  contribute  to  human  happi- 
ness and  human  salvation.  Certainly,  then,  such  an 
event  as  the  removal  of  a  person  from  the  natural 
to  the  spiritual  world,  can  take  place  only  under  the 
divine  providence  of  the  LORD  —  can  take  place  only 
because  divine  love  provides  or  permits  this,  and  di- 
vine wisdom  foresees  that  it  will  be  for  the  everlast- 
ing good  of  that  person. 

This  is  a  consoling  thought,  especially  in  relation 
to  the  removal  of  infants  and  little  children  to  the 
spiritual  world.  Their  removal  is  indeed  the  severing 
of  a  tender  tie  between  them  and  the  little  circle  in 
which  they  moved.  The  feelings  which  bind  us  to 
them  are  of  a  peculiarly  tender  and  delicate  nature. 
Their  smiles,  their  artless  manners,  the  tones  of  their 
voices,  the  sweet  expression  of  their  faces,  their  dawn- 
ing minds,  all  take  a  deep  hold  of  the  human  heart. 
They  awaken  affections  in  the  mind  of  the  parent 
analogous  to  the  paternal  love  of  the  LORD,  and  de- 
velop some  of  the  most  vigorous  germs  of  pure  and 
disinterested  atlection.  Thus  parents  seem  to  live  for 
their  children,  and  children  for  their  parents.  There 
is  a  mutual  interchange  of  happiness  between  them  — 
a  circle  of  heavenly  affections,  innocence,  and  delights. 
And  thus  it  is  hard  for  our  natural  feelings  to  sever 
the  natural  connection  between  u->  and  mir  children.

But  in  the  doctrines  of  the  New  Jerusalem  we  have, 
much  consoling  instruction  given  us  concerning  death 
and  Ihe  state  of  infants  and  children  in  the  other  life. 
We  are  taught  that  death  itself  is  not  the  loss  of  life  : 
it  is  only  passing  from  life  in  this  world  to  life  in  tho 
spiritual  world.  The  soul  or  spirit  of  man  is  the  real 
man,  and  this  never  dies;  for  it  derives  immortality, 
from  the  capacity  of  knowing,  loving,  and  serving  the 
LORD.  When  therefore  the  material  body  dies,  the 
spirit  goes  immediately  to  live  in  the  spiritual  world, 
in  a  spiritual  body. 

Hence  we  learn  concerning  the  resurrection,  that 
immediately  after  the  death  of  the  body,  man  rises 
into  the  spiritual  world ;  that  he  loses  nothing,  and 
leaves  nothing  behind,  which  constituted  any  part  of 
the  real  man.  We  learn  that  he  continues  to  live 
hereafter  a  human  being,  enjoying  all  the  means  of 
happiness  which  he  possessed  in  the  natural  world. 
He  there  has  a  body,  and  every  sense  which  he  had 
in  this  world.  The  body,  however,  in  which  he  rises 
after  death,  is  a  spiritual  body  ;  because  the  world  in 
which  he  is  henceforth  to  live,  is  a  spiritual  world. 
And  the  life,  too,  which  he  there  lives,  is  human  life, 
purified  and  happy,  or  depraved  and  miserable,  ac- 
cording to  the  character  of  the  ruling  love  which  in- 
fluenced him  on  earth,  and  the  quality  of  the  life 
which  he  lived  here. 

But  it  is  manifest  that  those  who  die  in  infancy 
and  childhood  have  not  adopted  either  good  or  evil 
loves  as  their  ruling  loves,  have  not  confirmed  them- 
selves in  either  a  good  or  an  evil  life.  It  is  true,  in- 
deed, that  they  inherited  from  their  parents  an  heredi- 
tary nature,  in  which  there  are  tendencies,  dispositions, 
and  propensities  to  all  kinds  of  evils.  But  inasmuch 
as  they  have  not  confirmed  themselves  by  their  life 
in  these  evil  inclinations  and  propensities,  have  not 
committed  sin  with  a  full  knowledge  of  the  nature 
and  consequences  of  sin,  therefore,  through  the  mercy 
of  the  LORD,  they  attain  to  salvation. 

That  those  who  die  in  infancy  and  childhood  are 
received  into  heaven,  may  be  inferred  from  what  is 


FUNERAL    SERVICE    FOR   INFANTS    AND    CHILDREN.       115 

said  in  the  Sacred  Scriptures.  When  the  LORD  was 
here  upon  earth,  he  said,  "  Suffer  little  children  to 
come  unto  rne,  and  forbid  them  not;  for  of  such  is  the 
king-dom  of  GOD.  Verily  I  say  unto  you,  whosoever 
shall  not  receive  the  kingdom  of  GOD  as  a  little  child, 
he  shall  in  no  wise  enter  therein."  And  again,  speak- 
ing of  little  children,  he  says,  "  Their  angels  in  heaven 
do  always  behold  the  face  of  my  FATHER  who  is  in 
heaven/' 

It  has  been  supposed  by  some,  -that  infants  will 
remain  infants,  and  children  remain  children,  in  the 
spiritual  world  ;  while  by  others  it  has  been  supposed 
that  they  will  at  once  become  perfect  angels.  Nei- 
ther the  one  nor  the  other  of  these  views  is  correct. 
But  infants  and  little  children  are  born  into  the  hea- 
venly world  in  the  same  state  in  which  they  leave  this 
world ;  and  they  gradually  grow  up  there,  as  they 
would  have  grown  up  here.  If  they  had  continued  to 
live  on  earth,  we  know  that  their  bodies  would  gra- 
dually have  grown  up,  their  minds  would  have  become 
active,  they  would  have  increased  in  knowledge,  and 
all  their  faculties  would  have  become  developed  to 
manhood  or  to  womanhood.  So  in  the  spiritual 
world  they  will  gradually  grow  in  wisdom  and  in 
stature,  their  minds  will  gradually  cotne  to  maturity, 
and  their  bodily  appearance  will  change  as  their  minds 
advance,  till  they  are  seen  by  their  associates  and 
companions  as  men  and  women.  For  in  that  world 
the  outward  appearance  corresponds  to  the  inward 
state  and  character.  The  growth  of  the  mind  goes 
on  there  as  well  as  here,  but  in  a  more  regular  and 
orderly  manner;  because  those  who  have  the  care 
and  education  of  children  in  that  world  are  far  better 
fitted  for  their  employment  than  parents  and  teachers 
and  nurses  on  earth  are,  and  also  because  there  the 
means  of  instruction  are  far  more  perfect. 

Infants,  as  soon  as  they  come  into  the  heavenly 
world,  are  committed  to  the  care  of  those  guardian 
angels,  who  are  peculiarly  qualified  to  take  care  of 
and  educate  chidren.  These  guardian  angels  instruct 
them  step  after  step  in  the  lessons  of  heavenly  wis- 


116      FUXERAL   SERVICE   FOll   INFAXTS   AXD    CHILDREN. 

dom  and  life;  they  train  them  to  the  performance  of 
those  duties  and  uses  to  which  they  are  afterwards  to 
be  appointed  by  the  LORD;  they  initiate  them  into 
the  delights  of  heaven,  and  introduce  them  to  the 
companionship  of  those  who  are  like  themselves  in 
age  and  qualities  of  mind.  The  angels  to  whose  care 
infants  are  committed,  are  those  who,  when  they 
lived  in  the  natural  world,  loved  little  children  from  a 
leal  desire  to  do  good  and  be  useful  to  them,  and  at 
the  same  time  loved  GOD.  These  angels  have  as 
many  children  given  to  them  as  they  desire,  and  are 
able  to  bring  up  in  a  proper  manner. 

Those  who  have  the  care  of  little  children  in  hea- 
ven, act  the  part  of  mothers  to  them  ;  and  they  take 
the  place  of  their  natural  mothers.  To  them  the 
children  look  up  as  to  their  mothers;  and  they  love, 
respect,  and  are  obedient  to  them.  But  they  are  es- 
pecially and  constantly  initiated  into  this  state,  to 
know  no  other  father,  and  afterwards  to  acknowledge 
no  other,  but  the  LORD  ;  and  that  they  have  life  from 
him.  They  are  taught  that  He  is  their  Father  in 
heaven  ;  and  that  they  must  look  to  him,  and  acknow- 
ledge him,  as  their  only  Father. 

Thus  we  may  see  that  they  are  not  made  unhappy 
from  the  want  of  their  earthly  parents.  They  do  not 
ever  feel  as  if  they  were  strangers  there.  They  feel  at 
home  where  they  are.  They  have  every  means  around 
them  that  can  contribute  to  their  happiness  and  their 
future  usefulness.  They  have  the  LORD  for  their  Fa- 
ther. They  have  one  who  receives  them,  and  treats 
them,  and  loves  them,  as  their  own  mother.  They  have 
brothers,  and  sisters,  and  companions,  and  playmates. 
They  have  schools,  and  teachers  who  instruct  them  in 
those  thing?  which  have  a  tendency  to  make  them  grow 
wise  and  good.  They  have  beautitul  gardens  in  which 
they  can  walk,  and  lawns  and  fields  in  which  they 
enjoy  their  childish  sports.  Every  thing  which  they 
see  around  them  appears  to  be  alive.  The  very  at- 
mosphere in  which  they  live,  and  which  they  breathe, 
sparkles  with  brilliancy  and  with  life. 

When  we  think  of  our  children  that  have  gone  to 


FUNERAL   SERVICE   FOR   INFANTS   AND   CHILDREN.       11? 

live  in  the  heavenly  world,  we  ought  to  think  of  them 
under  the  light  and  influence  of  the  New  Jerusalem. 
We  ought  to  think  of  them  as  nour  living  in  a  blissful 
state  above;  think  of  them  as  happy,  and  as  having 
every  thing  done  for  them  that  they  want  oi*need  to 
have  done  ;  much  more  than  we  could  do  for  them, 
if  they  were  with  us  here  on  earth.  We  ought  to 
think  of  them  as  growing  in  knowledge  and  in  use- 
fulness; as  improving  in  mind,  increasing  in  stature, 
and  preparing  to  become  angels.  We  ought  not  to 
thinK  of  them  in  any  manner  as  dead,  but  as  gone  to 
live  in  another  better  and  happier  state  of  existence. 

If  we  look  in  this  manner  at  the  removal  of  child- 
ren to  the  heavenly  world,  and  their  state  of  life  there, 
we  shall  cease  to  mourn,  or  to  indulge  in  any  inordi- 
nate grief,  at  their  departure  from  us.  We  shall  try 
TO  yield  up  any  selfish  desires  that  we  may  have  to 
keep  them  with  us,  and  be  willing  to  have  them  go 
when  the  LORD  calls  them.  We  shall  remember 
what  he  says,  "  Suffer  little  children  to  come  unto  me, 
and  forbid  them  not."  We  shall  endeavor  to  let  our 
minds  rise,  as  they  are  rising;  that  when  we  go  into 
the  world  whither  they  have  gone,  we  may  be  better 
prepared  to  enjoy  such  society  as  theirs. 

When  we  look  at  the  state  of  infants  and  little 
children  in  heaven,  and  see  the  advantages  of  nurture 
and  education  there  over  those  on  earth,  we  are  led 
to  see  and  feel  that,  it  is  well  with  our  children  who 
have  gone  there.  We  ought  not,  indeed,  to  desire  to 
have  our  children  taken  from  us  :  on  the  other  hand, 
we  ought  to  do  what  we  can  to  preserve  their  life  and 
health  in  this  world  ;  for  this  corresponds  to  the  de- 
sire to  do  what  we.  can  for  their  spiritual  and  eternal 
life;  and  Divine  Providence  has  clothed  this  love  of 
their  spiritual  life  with  the  love  of  their  natural  life. 
But  when  the  L*OKD  has  taken  them  from  us,  when 
He  sees  it  to  be  best  for  their  good  and  for  ours  that 
they  should  live  no  longer  with  us  in  this  world,  and 
when  we  are  inclined  to  feel  sad  on  account  of  our 
loss,  we  ought  to  think  how  well  it  is  with  our  child- 
ren ;  and  if  we  truly  love  them,  we  shall  learn  to  be 


118      FUNERAL    SERVICE    FOR    INFANTS    AND    CHILDREN. 

resigned  to  what  is  for  their  everlasting  happiness. 
We  ought  to  take  a  living,  elevated  view  of  their 
state,  and  even  rejoice  that  they  are  where  they  can 
be  so  much  more  happy  than  we  could  have  made 
them  here  on  earth.  In  obedience  to  his  commands, 
when  the  LORD  calls  them,  we  should  suffer  them  to 
go  unto  him,  and  forbid  them  not.  We  should  not 
let  our  natural  feelings  prevail  so  far  as  to  oppose 
what  He  sees  to  be  best  for  them. 

From  a  knowledge  of  the  education  and  stale  of 
children  in  the  spiritual  world,  we  are  Jed  to  see  how 
important  and  responsible  are  the  duties  of  parents 
towards  their  children  on  earth.  The  LORD  has  shown 
us  the  states  of  those  in  heaven,  that  we  may  learn 
to  make  earth  itself  more  heavenly  ;  that  we  may 
make  the  home  and  family  and  education  on  earth 
more  like  those  in  heaven. 

It  is  our  first  and  most  important  duty  as  parents, 
to  give  the  children  committed  to  us  a  religious  edu- 
cation ;  to  instruct  them  in  the  truths  of  the  Sacred 
Scriptures;  to  bring  them  up  under  the  sphere  and 
influence  of  the  Church ;  to  teach  them  to  live  in 
love  towards  one  another,  and  to  learn  and  keep  the 
commandments  of  the  LORD.  Especially  is  it  our 
duty  to  withdraw  our  children  as  much  as  possible 
from  evil  influences  and  evil  spheres,  and  prevent  them 
from  cherishing  hatred  and  revenge,  or  any  evil  feel- 
ings: for  by  the  indulgence  of  such  affections,  mutual 
love  and  innocence  are  extinguished  in  the  youthful 
mind ;  and  thus  our  children  are  excluded  from  the 
sphere  and  influence  of  heaven,  where  nothing  but 
mutual  love  prevails. 

It  is  well  known  that  infants  and  little  children  in 
this  world  are  subjects  of  peculiar  influences  from  the 
heavenly  world.  The  LORD  himself  teaches  this, 
when  he  says,  "  Their  angels  in  heaven"  —  that  is, 
t.he  angels  who  watch  over,  guard,  and  protect  little 
children,  "do  always  behold  the  face  of  my  FATHER 
who  is  in  heaven."  The  heavenly  influences,  too, 
that  come  down  to  us  through  infants  and  children, 
are  some  of  tie  most  saving  and  redeeming  influences. 


FUNERAL   SERVICE   FOR   INFANTS    AND    CHILDREN.      119 

They  are  powerful  for  good.  Infants  have  always 
formed  a  sphere  of  heaven  upon  earth.  How  import- 
ant that  this  sphere  of  innocence  and  childlike  humi- 
lity should  be  preserved  in  the  church,  in  society,  in 
our  families,  and  in  our  own  hearts. 

The  LORD  says  to  his  disciples,  "  Verily  I  say  unto 
you,  Except  ye  be  converted,  and  become  as  little 
children,  ye  shall  not  enter  the  kingdom  of  heaven." 


Then  the  following  prayer,  or  the  LORD'S  Prayer,  or  both,  may  he  used. 

O  BLESSED  and  ever-living  LORD  GOD  and  SAVIOR 
Almighty,  thou  who  art  the  resurrection  and  the  life, 
who  hast  now  been  pleased  to  call  the  departed  [little 
one,  or  child,  or  dear  one]  from  this  transitory  stage 
of  being;  give  us  to  see  in  this,  as  in  all  the  dispensa- 
tions of  thy  wisdom,  the*  bright  footsteps  of  an  all-mer- 
ciful providence,  which  in  every  act  of  apparent  de- 
struction, doth  but  further  the  progress  of  an  eternal 
creation,  and  through  the  death  of  this  life,  doth  be- 
stow the  life  of  a  heavenly  kingdom.  O  cause,  we 
beseech  thee,  that  this  solemn  visitation  may  deeply 
impress  us,  who  remain,  with  the  uncertainty  of  our 
continuance  here,  and  the  necessity  of  making  timely 
preparation  for  that  hereafter  in  which  the  state  of 
our  life  will  be  fixed  for  ever.  Seeing  the  frailty  of 
all  things  below,  may  we  fix  our  hearts  entirely  on  the 
substantial  reality  of  the  things  that  are  above.  May 
this  dispensation  be  sanctified  to  the  spiritual  and 
eternal  good  of  us  all,  and  especially  to  the  afflicted 
family  and  friends.  In  mercy  comfort  them  with  thy 
presence,  and  strengthen  them  by  the  influences  of  thy 
Holy  Spirit,  so  that  with  sincere  and  humble  hearts 
they  may  feel  it  good  to  say,  "  Thy  will  be  done." 
May  they,  and  all  of  us  who  are  here  present  this  day, 
receive  and  use  so  wisely  all  the  dispensations  of  thy 
providence,  that  the  messenger  of  natural  death  shall 
be  to  us  the  herald  of  everlasting  life.  May  our  re- 
moval from 'earth  be  an  admission  into  heaven ; and 
may  our  separation  from  friends  according  to  the  flesh.

be  our  consociation  with  spiritual  kindred  in  the  world 
of  bliss.  Receive  us,  O  Heavenly  FATHER,  when  we 
go  hence,  into  thy  more  immediate  presence,  to  be  fed 
by  thee  at  the  fountain  of  living  waters,  where  pain 
and  sorrow  shall  cease  for  ever,  where  we  shall  again 
meet  the  dear  ones  who  have  gone  before  us,  and 
where  thou  thyself  wilt  wipe  away  all  tears  from  our 
eyes.  Amen. 

OUR  FATHER,  who  art  in  the  heavens;  Hallowed  be 
thy  name.  Thy  kingdom  come.  Thy  will  be  done, 
as  in  heaven,  so  also  upon  the  earth.  Give  us  this 
day  our  daily  bread.  And  forgive  us  our  debts,  as 
we  also  forgive  our  debtors.  And  lead  us  not  into 
temptation;  but  deliver  us  from  evil.  For  thine  is 
the  kingdom,  and  the  power,  and  the  glory,  for  ever. 
AMEN.

AT  the.  same  time  came  the  disciples  unto  JESUS, 
baying,  Who  is  the  greatest  in  the  kingdom  of  hea- 
ven ?  And  JESUS  called  a  little  child  unto  him,  and 
set  him  in  the  midst  of  them,  and  said,  Verily  I  say 
unto  you,  Except  ye  be  converted,  and  become  as  lit- 
tle children,  ye  shall  not  enter  into  the  kingdom  of 
heaven.  Whosoever,  therefore,  shall  humble  himself 
as  this  little  child,  the  same  is  greatest  in -the  kingdom 
of  heaven. —  Matt,  xviii.  1—4.

Take  heed  that  ye  despise  not  one  of  these,  little 
ones ;  for  I  say  unto  you,  that  their  angels  in  heaven 
do  always  behold  the  face  of  my  FATHER  who  is  in 
heaven. —  Mat.  xviii.  10. 

JESUS  said,  Suffer  little  children,  and  forbid  them 
not,  to  come  unto  me:  for  of  such  is  the  kingdom  of 
heaven. —  Mat.  xix.  14. 


When  the  coffin  is  lowered  into  the  grave,  the  Minister  may  say, 

FORASMUCH  as  it  hath  pleased  the  LORD,  in  his  wise 
and  good  Providence,  to  remove  this  child  to  the  spi- 
ritual world,  we  do  therefore  commit  the  body  to  the 
grave,  earth  to  earth,  ashes  to  ashes,  dust  to  dust; 
with  the  confident  assurance  that  he  will  live  for  ever 
in  a  state  of  happiness  and  of  active  usefulness  in  the 
heavenly  world. 

And  I  heard  a  voice  from  heaven  saying  unto  me, 
Write,  Blessed  are  the  dead  who  die  in  the  LORD  from 
henceforth. —  Rev.  xiv.  13.

ORDINATION. 


The  whole  or  a  part  of  the  following  Service  may  be  used,  to  be  commenced 
by  singing  a  suitable  Selection  or  Hymn,  all  standing.  The  Minister  may 
then  read  the  following  passage : 

AND  JKSUS  went  about  all  the  cities  and  villages, 
leaching  in  their  synagogues,  and  preaching  the  gos- 
pel of  the  kingdom,  arid  healing  every  sickness  and 
every  disease  among  the  people.  But  when  he  saw 
the  multitudes,  he  was  moved  with  compassion  on 
them,  because  they  fainted,  and  were  scattered  abroad, 
as  sheep  having  no  shepherd.  Then  saith  he  unto  his 
disciples,  The  harvest  truly  is  plenteous,  but  the  la- 
borers are  few  ;  pray  ye  therefore  the  LORD  of  the  har- 
vest that  he  will  send  forth  laborers  into  his  harvest. 
—  Mat.  ix.  35  -  38. 


Then  may  be  read  one  or  more  of  the  following  chapters : 

Exodus  xxviir.;  Isaiah  xi. ;  XLII.  1-16;  LII.;  LXI.  ; 
LXII.  ;  Mat.  x.;  John  x.  1-16. 


The  Ordaining  Minister  may  then  deliver  the  following 

ADDRESS. 

DIVINE  order  requires  that  Ministers  should  be  ap- 
pointed to  administer  the  ordinances  of  the  church, 
and  to  officiate  in  the  public  worship  of  the  LORD; 
to  teach  men  the  way  to  heaven,  and  to  lead  them 
therein.  Wherefore  it  is  necessary  that  proper  per- 
sons should  be  called  and  set  apart  to  that  office,  in  a 


ORDINATION.  1 23 

manner  becoming  the  sacred  nature  of  the  duties  they 
are  to  discharge. 

Be  it  known,  therefore,  to  all  present,  that  A  B  has 
been  duly  recommended  and  approved  as  a  person 
properly  qualified  to  be  introduced  into  the  Ministry 
of  the  New  Jerusalem. 

The  ordination  of  Ministers  is  effected  by  the 
imposition  of  hands,  because  this  signifies  the  com- 
munication of  spiritual  life  from  the  LORD,  and  of 
illumination,  and  of  the  power  of  instruction,  which 
particularly  belong  to  the  ministerial  office. 

The  doctrines  of  the  New  Church  teach  that 

"  The   common    good    consists   of   the   following 
things :  that  in  a  society  or  kingdom  there  be 
I.   What  is  Divine  among  the  people  : 
II.  That  there  be  Justice  among  them  : 

III.  That  there  be  Morality."  —  Doc.  Char.  65. 

They  also  teach  that  "  what  is  Divine  exists  there 
through  the  Ministry;  Justice,  through  the  magis- 
trates and  judges  ;  and  Morality,  through  what  is  Di- 
vine and  what  is  Just."  —  Doc.  Char.  66. 

That  "  the  clergy,  because  they  are  to  teach  doc- 
trine from  the  Word,  concerning  the  LORD,  and  con- 
cerning redemption  and  salvation  from  Him,  are  to 
be  inaugurated  by  the  covenant,  promise,  or  pledge  of 
the  Holy  Spirit,  and  by  the  representation  of  its  trans- 
mission ;  but  that  it,  is  received  by  the  clergy  according 
to  the  faith  of  their  life."  —  Can.  p.  30. 

We  are  also  taught,  that  "  By  the  touch  of  the 
hand,  is  signified  communication,  transmission,  and 
reception."— A.  C.  10,130. 

And  that  "  To  put  the  hand  on  the  head,  is  repre- 
sentative that  blessing  is  communicated  to  the  un- 
derstanding and  to  the  will,  thus  to  the  man  himself/' 
—  A.  C.  62U2. 

"  That  Divine  virtue,  which,  among  the  clergy,  is 
meant  by  the  operation  of  the  Holy  Spirit,  is,  in  par- 
ticular, illustration,  and  instruction  ;  but  to  these  may 
be  added  two  intermediate  virtues,  which  are,  per- 
ception and  disposition  :  there  are,  therefore,  among 
the  clergy,  four  successive  operations,  following  each

other  in  this  order,  —  Illustration,  Perception,  Dispo- 
sition,  and  Instruction.  ILLUSTRATION  is  from  the 
LORD  alone.  PERCEPTION  has  place  in  a  man  accord- 
ing to  the  state  of  his  mind  as  formed  by  doctrines: 

•/  m 

and  where  those  doctrines  are  true,  the  perception  is 
rendered  clear  by  the  light  of  illustration  ;  but  where 
they  are  false,  the  perception  is  rendered  obscure,  yet 
so  as  to  have  the  appearance  of  clearness,  arising 
from  the  reasonings  and  arguments  which  have  been 
used  for  their  confirmation.  Such  apparent  clearness 
is,  however,  only  a  consequence  of  that  false  and  de- 
lusive light,  which,  in  the  eye  of  the  merely  natural 
man,  appears  like  the  light  of  truth.  DISPOSITION 
arises  from  the  affection  of  the  love  of  the  will ;  and 
it  is  the  delight  springing  from  that  love,  which  effects 
it.  If  this  delight  spring  from  the  love  of  evil  and 
its  attendant  falsity,  it  gives  birth  to  a  zeal  which  is 
outwardly  sharp,  harsh,  furious,  fiery,  and  inwardly 
full  of  anger,  rage,  and  unmercifulness :  but  if  it 
spring  from  the  love  of  good  and  its  attendant  truth, 
it  then  gives  birth  to  a  zeal  which  is  outwardly  soft 
and  smooth,  yet  loud  and  burning,  and  inwardly  full 
of  charity,  kindness,  and  mercy.  INSTRUCTION  follows 
as  an  effect  produced  by  the  former.  Thus  illustra- 
tion, which  is  from  the  LORD,  is  changed  into  various 
lights  and  colors  in  every  individual,  according  to  the 
state  of  his  mind."  — T.  C.  R.  155. 

"  With  respect  to  the  priests,  they  ought  to  teach 
men  the  way  to  heaven,  and  also  to  lead  them :  they 
ou^ht  to  teach  them  according  to  the  doctrine  of  their 

o  o 

church  derived  from  the  Word,  and  they  ought  to 
lead  them  to  live  according  to  it.  Priests  who  teach 
truths,  and  thereby  lead  to  good  of  life,  and  so  to  the 
LORD,  are  the  good  shepherds  of  the  sheep  ;  but  they 
who  only  teach,  and  do  not  lead  to  good  of  life,  and 
so  to  the  LORD,  are  the  evil  shepherds. 

"  Priests  ought  not  to  claim  to  themselves  any 
power  over  the  souls  of  men,  inasmuch  as  they  do 
not  know  in  what  state  the  interiors  of  a  man  are  ; 
still  less  ought  they  to  claim  the  power  of  opening 
and  shutting  heaven,  since  that  power  belongs  to  the 
LORD  alone.

'•  Dignity  and  honor  ought  to  be  paid  to  priests, 
on  account  of  the  sanctity  of  their  office  ;  but  they 
who  are  wise  give  the  honor  to  the  LORD,  from  whom 
all  sanctity  is  derived,  and  not  to  themselves;  whilst 
they  who  are  not  wise  attribute  the  honor  to  them- 
selves, whereby  they  take  it  from  the  LORD.  They 
who  attribute  honor  to  themselves,  on  account  of  the 
sanctity  of  their  office,  prefer  honor  and  gain  to  the 
salvation  of  souls,  which  they  ought  to  provide  for ; 
but  they  who  give  the  honor  to  the  LORD,  and  not  to 
themselves,  prefer  the  salvation  of  souls  to  honor  and 
gain.  The  honor  of  any  employment  is  not  in  the 
person,  but  is  adjoined  to  him  according  to  the  dig- 
nity of  the  thing  which  he  administers  ;  and  what  is 
adjoined  does  not  belong  to  the  person  himself,  and 
is  also  separated  from  him  with  the  employment.  All 
personal  honor  is  the  honor  of  wisdom  and  the  fear 
of  the  LORD. 

"  Priests  ought  to  teach  the  people,  and  to  lead  them 
by  means  of  truths  to  good  of  life  ;  but  still  they 
ought  to  force  no  one,  since  no  one  can  be  forced  to 
believe  contrary  to  what  he  thinks  from  his  heart  to 
be  truth.  He  who  believes  otherwise  than  the  priest, 
and  makes  no  disturbance,  ought  to  be  left  in  peace ; 
but  he  who  makes  disturbance  ought  to  be  separated ; 
for  this  also  is  agreeable  to  order,  for  the  sake  of 
which  the  priesthood  is  established." — H.  D.  315-318. 

"  Charity  in  the  Priest.  When  he  looks  to  the  LORD 
and  shuns  evils  as  sins,  and  does  the  appointed  work 
of  his  ministry  sincerely,  justly,  and  faithfully,  he  does 
the  good  of  use  continually,  and  becomes  a  charity 
in  form.  And  he  does  the  good  of  use,  or  the  work 
of  his  ministry,  sincerely,  justly,  and  faithfully,  when 
he  feels  affected  for  the  salvation  of  souls:  and  in 
proportion  as  this  is  the  case,  he  is  affected  by  truths; 
for  truths  are  the  means  of  leading  souls  to  heaven  : 
and  when  he  leads  them  to  the  LORD,  it  is  then  he  is 
leading  them  by  means  of  truths  to  heaven.  And  he 
has  then  also  an  earnest  love  of  teaching  truths  from 
the  Word;  for  in  teaching  them  from  the  Word,  he 
teaches  them  from  the  LORD;  for  the  LORD  is  the  Word'.

and  furthermore,  He  is  the  Way,  the.  Truth,  and  the  Life, 
as  He  himself  says,  John  xiv.  o  ;  and  He  is  the  Door, 
John  x.  9.  He,  therefore,  who  enters  the  fold  by  the 
LORD  as  the  door,  is  a  good  shepherd ;  but  he  who 
does  not,  is  a  bad  shepherd,  who  is  called  a  thief  and 
a  robber.  John  x.  1-9."— Doct.  Char.  86. 

Ministers  are  representatives  of  the  LORD.  Their 
official  duties  are  representatives  of  his  Divine  opera- 
tions. He  is  present  with  all  men,  and  operating  upon 
all.  In  his  Divine  Humanity  he  is  with  us,  and  his 
Spirit  is  always  operating  upon  us.  Without  him  we 
can  do  nothing.  But  he  is  invisible,  and  his  opera- 
tions are  invisible.  He  has  therefore  provided  that 
there  should  be  ministers  to  represent  him  among 
men,  —  ministers  to  teach  in  an  external  manner  doc- 
trines which  correspond  to  what  he  teaches  in  an  in- 
ternal manner,  and  to  do  externally  things  which  cor- 
respond with  what  he  does  internally.  Thus  he  is  by 
his  internal  influence  endeavoring  to  enlighten  men, 
so  that  they  may  know  what  is  good  and  true  ;  but 
this  influence  would  have  no  effect  upon  them,  if  he 
did  not  also  provide  that  they  should  receive  some 
external  instruction,  into  which  his  influence  might 
fall,  and  in  which  it  might  be  embodied.  He  has 
therefore  given  the  Sacred  Scriptures ;  and  has  pro- 
vided that  there  should  be  ministers  to  explain  them, 
and  to  teach  the  doctrines  which  are  contained  in 
them. 

So,  too,  he  is  continually  endeavoring  to  baptize 
men  with  the  Holy  Spirit  and  with  fire;  that  is,  to 
regenerate  them  by  the  influence  of  his  Love  and 
Wisdom  :  and  as  a  means  of  preparing  us  to  be  ope- 
rated upon  in  this  manner,  he  has  provided  that  there 
should  be  ministers  to  baptize  with  water,  and  to 
teach  men  the  necessity  of  regeneration,  and  the  man- 
ner  in  which  the  work  is  to  be  accomplished. 

So,  again,  he  is  constantly  endeavoring  to  give 
spiritual  life  unto  men,  and  to  cherish  and  increase  it. 
This  spiritual  life  is  his  Goodness  and  Trulh.  His 
Goodness  is  the  life  of  our  wills,  and  his  Truth  is  the 


ORDINATION.  127 

life  of  our  understandings.  But  he  cannot  give  us 
these  things,  merely  by  flowing  into  our  minds,  and 
operating  upon  them  in  an  internal  manner.  He  can- 
not give  them  TO  us  in  such  a  manner  that  we  can 
receive  them,  without  in  the  first  place  giving  us  a 
knowledge  of  them  :  and  this  must  be  given  in  an 
external  way ;  that  is,  through  the  senses.  He  has 
therefore  revealed  his  Goodness  and  Truth  in  the 
Sacred  Scriptures  :  he  has  also  instituted  the  Holy 
Supper;  in  which  the  bread  is  an  emblem  of  his 
Goodness,  the  wine  an  emblem  of  his  Truth,  and  the 
eating  of  the  bread  and  drinking  of  the  wine  represent 
the  reception  and  appropriation  of  his  Goodness  and 
Truth  :  he  has  provided  that  there  should  be  ministers 
to  explain  the  Scriptures,  so  as  to  make  the  Goodness 
and  Truth  of  them  manifest  and  intelligible;  also  to 
administer  the  ordinance  of  the  Holy  Supper,  to  un- 
fold the  spiritual  meaning  of  it,  to  show  us  how  we 
may  be  prepared  for  it,  and  thus  enable  us  to  receive 
it  internally  as  well  as  externally, —  to  receive  the 
Goodness  into  our  wills,  and  the  Truth  into  our  un- 
derstandings, as  well  as  to  receive  the  bread  and  wine 
into  our  bodies. 

And  with  regard  to  the  work  of  Redemption,  mi- 
nisters should  be  representatives  of  the  LORD.  When 
the  power  of  evil  spirits  was  becoming  predominant 
upon  earth,  he  took  upon  himself  our  nature,  and  thus 
came  down  into  our  state  and  circumstances,  so  that 
he  might  overcome  the  obstacles  which  lay  in  the 
way  of  our  salvation  —  that  he  might  do  such  works 
as  men  could  not  do,  but  which  needed  to  be  done 
that  they  might  be  saved.  Inasmuch  as  he  took  upon 
himself  our  nature,  he  took  upon  himself  also  the  he- 
reditary tendencies  and  propensities  of  it ;  so  that  he 
could  have  such  feelings  and  thoughts  arise  in  his  Hu- 
manity, as  arise  in  the  minds  of  unregenerate  men. 
Evil  spirits  could  operate  upon  his  Humanity,  as  they 
operate  upon  men;  except  that  in  relation  to  men 
they  are  often  successful,  whereas  in  relation  to  him 
they  were  always  unsuccessful.  And  as  by  means  of 
his  Humanity,  before  it  was  glorified,  evil  spirits  could 


128  ORDIXATIOX. 

have  access  to  him,  so  by  the  same  means  he  could 
have  access  to  them.  As  the  evil  spirits  could  inspire 
evil  feelings  and  false  thoughts  into  his  Humanity,  so 
he  could,  from  the  Divine  Love  and  Wisdom  of  his 
internal  Divinity,  bring  down  into  his  Humanity  the 
good  feelings  and  the  true  thoughts  which  were  ne- 
cessary to  overcome  them.  He  thus  caused  his  Hu- 
manity to  have  Divine  human  feelings  and  thoughts. 
iu  relation  to  every  evil  and  false  thing  which  the  evil 
spirits  could  suggest.  By  this  means  he  purified  and 
glorified  his  Humanity,  so  that  it  could  be  no  more 
tempted:  and  by  this  means  he  at  the  same  time 
overcame  all  kinds  of  evil  spirits  ;  for  he  caused  them 
to  see  themselves,  and  every  thing  that  proceeded 
from  them,  as  he  saw  them  in  the  divine  light  of 
heaven,  in  the  presence  of  which  they  could  not  abide 
for  a  moment. 

It  was  on  account  of  his  Infinite  Love  towards 
men,  that  he  took  upon  himself  their  nature,  and  came 
down  into  their  circumstances,  and  performed  these 
works  of  salvation.  This  Infinite  Love  is  eternal.  It 
operates  as  powerfully  now,  as  it  did  then.  His  Di- 
vine Humanity  is  also  eternal ;  and  it  has  the  same 
power  of  saving  men  from  the  influence  of  evil  spirits 
now,  that  it  had  then.  And  as  it  was  then,  so  it  is 
now;  his  power  is  manifest  in  none  but  those  who 
love  him  and  believe  in  him.  Those  who  love  him 
and  believe  in  him,  do  by  this  means  receive  him  into 
their  minds ;  so  that  they  love,  think,  and  act  from 
him.  Accordingly,  when  any  thing  evil  and  false  is 
suggested  to  them,  they  think  and  feel  in  relation  to 
il  from  his  Divine  Humanity;  they  think  and  feel  as 
he  leads  them  to  think  and  feel ;  they  think  and  feel 
in  relation  to  it,  as  he  felt  and  thought  when  in  the 
world.  And  the  evil  spirits  do  not  regard  them  as 
mere  men ;  for  they  perceive  that  the  LORD  as  to  his 
Divine  Humanity  is  in  them,  and  that  his  Divine 
Power  operates  through  them  :  consequently  they  re- 
linquish the  combat,  turn  their  backs  upon  him,  and 
flee  from  his  presence. 

Now  it  is  the  effort  of  the  LORD  that  all  men  should 


ORDINATION.  129 

receive  of  the  Love  from  which  he  performed,  and  is 
now  performing,  these  works  of  redemption  and  sal- 
vation ;  and  when  we  receive  it,  we  are  all  led  by  it 
to  perform  works  corresponding  to  his  works,  —  cor 
responding  as  the  finite  corresponds  with  the  Infinite  — 
as  imperfect  human  things  correspond  with  the  per- 
fect Divine.  When  we  receive  his  Divine  Love,  it 
leads  us  all  to  have  compassion  upon  one  another 
when  we  are  in  states  of  suffering,  especially  spiritual 
suffering ;  or  when  we  are  in  danger  of  it.  It  leads 
us  to  come  spiritually  near  to  one  another,  and  to  enter 
into  one  another's  states  of  mind,  that  we  may  afford 
one  another  assistance  and  protection. 

Thus  the  influence  of  the  Divine  Love,  when  it  is 
received  into  the  mind,  has  a  tendency  to  make  all 
men  perform  works  which  more  or  less  correspond 
with  the  work  of  Redemption  ;  but  when  it  is  received 
by  ministers,  it  leads  them  to  do  works  which  corre- 
spond more  perfectly,  because  it  is  their  office  and 
duty  to  cooperate  with  the  LORD  in  saving  men. 

One  great  part  of  the  duty  of  a  minister,  and  one 
great  means  of  usefulness,  is  for  him  to  learn  to  put 
himself  in  the  place  of  his  people  ;  that  is,  to  suppose 
himself  to  be  in  their  states  and  circumstances,  and 
then  to  consider  what  would  be  good  for  himself,  if 
he  were  there.  If  he  loves  them,  and  desires  to  be 
useful  to.  them,  he  will  be  constantly  going  to  them  in 
this  manner ;  for  this  is  the  means  by  which  he  can 
adapt  any  thing  to  their  states  :  for  when  he  goes  into 
thiir  states,  he  loses  nothing  of  the  goodness,  or  wis- 
dom, or  spiritual  power,  that  properly  belongs  to  him; 
but,  on  the  contrary,  he  acquires  the  additional  power 
of  being  able  to  adapt  all  that  he  has  to  their  benefit : 
for  when  he  spiritually  goes  to  them,  or  enters  into 
th.yir  states,  he  can  perceive  how  they  think  and  feel; 
he  ^an  for  the  time  think  and  feel  as  they  do;  anil 
when  this  is  the  case,  he  can  see  how  he  could  be 
made  to  think  and  feel  differently ; —  how  he  could  be 
lifted  up  out  of  his  present  state;  —  he  can  see  what 
kind  of  treatment  would  be  suited  to  him; — he  can 
see  what  kind  of  instruction  he  would  need,  and  how 


130  ORDINATION. 

it  should  be  expressed  that  he  might  understand  il 
and  be  affected  by  it.  And  when  he  sees  what  would 
be  good  for  himself,  he  can  see  what  will  be  good  for 
those  whom  he  is  endeavoring  to  assist. 

If  a  minister  proceed  in  this  manner,  he  will  not 
act  with  harshness  and  severity,  for  he  will  not  act 
from  his  natural  man  ;  but  he  will  act  and  speak  with 
gentleness  and  kindness,  for  he  will  act  and  speak 
from  the  spiritual  man ;  he  will  act  and  speak  from 
the'  Love  and  Wisdom  which  have  flowed  into  his 
mind  from  the  LORD  ;  he  will  treat  others  as  the  LORD 
has  treated  him  ;  he  will  treat  others  as  he  would  have 
others  treat  him :  for  before  he  acts,  he  puts  himself 
in  their  places,  and  ascertains  what  would  be  good 
for  himself;  or,  in  other  words,  what  he  would  have 
others  do  for  him. 

Every  one  has  the  power  of  doing  this  in  some 
degree,  but  the  power  is  enlarged  by  practice  and  ex- 
perience :  it  increases,  as  the  love  of  doing  good  in- 
creases; till  at  length  one  acquires  the  habit  of  enter- 
ing into  the  states  of  others,  and  learning  what  is 
good  for  them,  without  effort.  His  love  is  with  them, 
his  feelings  are  with  them,  he  is  with  them ;  and  con- 
sequently he  knows  by  intuition  what  is  good  for 
them. 

This  power  which  is  given  to  ministers  to  enter  into 
the  states  of  their  people,  is  a  most  important  means 
of  usefulness  :  without  it  they  might  perhaps  be  mi- 
nisters of  the  law  that  was  given  through  Moses,  but 
not  of  the  grace  and  truth  that  came  by  JESUS  CHRIST. 
But  there  is  a  reciprocal  power  given  to  the  people, 
which  is  equally  important;  and  that  is,  the  power 
of  entering  into  the  states  of  their  ministers.  They 
are  generally  employed  in  the  various  uses  of  life,  so 
that  they  cannot,  like  ministers,  make  it  their  princi- 
pal business  to  acquire  and  communicate  spiritual 
knowledge.  But.  when,  from  a  love  of  performing 
spiritual  uses,  their  ministers  enter  into  their  states  of 
mind,  and  adapt  heavenly  things  to  them,  they  can, 
from  a  love  of  receiving  spiritual  uses,  enter  into  the 
elates  of  their  ministers,  and  then  in  a  greater  or  less 


ORDINATION.  131 

degree  understand  and  feel  as  they  do.  For  on  the 
Sabbath  and  other  suitable  occasions,  they  leave  their 
usual  employments,  they  cease  to  do  their  own  ways, 
to  find  their  own  pleasure,  to  exercise  their  own  affec- 
tions, to  think  their  own  thoughts,  or  to  speak  their 
own  words ;  and  they  come  unto  their  minister  as  to 
a  representative  of  the  LORD,  that  they  may  delight 
themselves  in  the  LORD,  and  in  the  holy  things  thai 
proceed  from  him ;  that  they  may  be  spiritually  lifted 
up  ;  that  they  may  ride  upon  the  high  places  of  the 
earth  ;  and  that  they  may  perceive  and  feed  upon  the 
food  of  angels  —  the  living  bread  which  the  LORD 
himself  brought  down  from  heaven :  for  it  is  a  minis- 
ter's duty  to  show  his  people  what  this  bread  is,  and 
how  they  may  come  into  possession  of  it;  it  is  his 
duty  to  bring  it  down  to  their  states  and  capacities, 
so  that  they  may  have  a  perception  of  it,  and  an  af- 
fection for  it.  And  while  he  is  endeavoring  to  do 
this,  they  also  have  something  to  do  ;  while  he  is  en- 
deavoring to  bring  down  the  Divine  truth  to  meet 
their  states,  they  should  endeavor  to  go  up  as  far  as 
they  can  to  meet  it.  When  this  is  the  case,  if  he  en- 
deavors to  explain  any  thing,  they  will  endeavor  to 
understand  it ;  and  if  he  shows  them  what  feelings  we 
ought  to  have  upon  any  subject,  they  will  endeavor  to 
come  under  the  influence  of  such  feelings:  thus,  by 
means  of  his  efforts  united  with  their  efforts,  they  are 
lifted  up,  so  that  they  can  see  as  he  sees,  and  feel  as 
he  feels.  He  is  then  performing  the  use  for  which  he 
is  appointed  and  ordained.  He  is  a  medium  of  Divine 
Blessings.  Freely  he  receives  from  the  LORD,  and 
freely  gives  to  his  people.  He  is  not  acting  of  him- 
self, nor  for  himself;  he  is  not  seeking  his  own  plea- 
sure, nor  doing  his  own  ways,  nor  speaking  his  own 
words;  but  he  is  delighting  himself  in  the  LORD,  and 
in  receiving  and  communicating  the  things  which  are 
from  the  LORD:  and  when  his  people  cooperate  with 
him,  when  they  enter  into  his  states  —  into  his  feel- 
ings and  thoughts,  they  also  will  delight  in  the  LORD, 
and  will  receive  the  Holy  Spirit  that  proceeds  from 
Him. 


132  OllDINATION. 

After  the  Address,  the  Ordaining  Minister  shall  then  ask  the  candidate  the 
following  questions: 

Ord.  Min. —  Do  you  sincerely  believe  that  it  is  of 
the  Divine  Providence  of  the  LORD,  that  you  are  call- 
ed to  the  office  of  a  minister  in  the  New  Jerusalem  ? 

Answer.  —  I  do. 

Ord.  Min.  —  Do  you  now,  in  the  presence  of  the, 
LORD,  and  of  this  assembly,  declare  your  faith  in  the 
Divine  Word,  and  in  the  Heavenly  Doctrines  of  the 
New  Jerusalem,  as  unfolded  in  the  writings  of  Erna 
nuel  Swedenborg  ? 

Answer. —  I  do. 

Ord.  Min. —  Do  you  now  desire  to  be  ordained  as  a 
minister,  that  you  may  perform  the  duties  of  that 
office,  in  teaching  and  leading  men  according  to  those 
doctrines? 

Answer. —  I  do. 

Then  shall  the  Ordaining  Minister  read  the  following  passages: 

AND  JESUS  came  and  spake  unto  them,  saying,  All 
power  is  given  unto  me  in  heaven  and  in  earth.  Go 
ye,  therefore,  and  make  disciples  of  all  nations,  bap- 
tizing them  into  the  name  of  the  FATHER,  and  of  the 
SON,  and  of  the  HOLY  SPIRIT;  teaching  them  to  do  all 
things  whatsoever  I  have  commanded  you  :  and  lo, 
I  am  with  you  all  the  days,  until  the  consummation 
of  the  age.  Amen. —  Matt,  xxviii.  18-20. 

And  as  ye  go,  preach,  saying,  The  kingdom  of 
heaven  is  at  hand. 

Behold,  I  send  you  forth  as  sheep  in  the  midst  of 
wolves:  be  ye  therefore  wise  as  serpents,  and  harm- 
less as  doves. 

He  that  receiveth  you,  receiveth  me ;  and  he  that 
receiveth  me,  receiveth  him  that  sent  me. —  Matt.  x. 
7,  16,  40. 

Ye  have  not  chosen  me,  but  I  have  chosen  you,  and 
ordained  you,  that  ye  should  go  and  bring  forth  fruit; 
and  that  your  fruit  should  remain  :  that  whatsoever 
ye  shall  ask  of  the  FATHER  in  my  name,  he  may  give 
it  you.  —  John  xv.  16. 


ORDINATION.  133 

Peace  be  unto  you  :  as  the  FATHER  hath  sent  me,  I 
also  send  you.  And  when  he  had  said  this,  he  breath- 
ed on  them,  and  saith  unto  them,  Receive  ye  the 
Holy  Spirit— John  xx.  21,  22. 


Here,  tha  candidate  kneeling,  the  Ordaining  Minister  shall  lay  his  hands 
upon  his  head,  and  say : 

Orel.  Min. —  You  are  hereby  ordained  to  be  a  mi- 
nister of  the  New  Jerusalem,  and  are  set  apart  to  the 
performance  of  the  duties  pertaining  to  the  first  grade 
of  that  sacred  office.  To  you  is  given  the  authority 
and  power  to  teach  and  preach  the  Heavenly  Doc-

Baptism,  the  rite  of  Confirmation,  and  the  sacrament 
of  the  Holy  Supper:  to  consecrate  marriages,  and

LORD,  to  instruct  the  people,  and  lead  them  in  the

his  face  to  shine  upon  thee,  and  be  gracious  unto  thes : 
JEHOVAH  lift  up  his  countenance  upon  thee,  and  give 
ihee  peace. 


The  candicate  will  then   rise,  and  the  Ordaining  .Minister  will  address  him

INSTALLATION. 


[When  a  Minister  has  been  invited  by  a  Society  to  become  its 
Pastor,  and  has  accepted  the  invitation,  it  seems  to  be  good  and 
useful  to  both  pastor  and  people,  that  he  be  inducted  into  office 
by  appropriate  religious  services.  The  whole  or  a  part  of  the 
following  may  be  used.] 


So  much  as  may  seem  proper  of  the  service  for  Ordination  preceding  the 
questions  to  the  candidate,  may  be  used.  Then  the  Ordaining  Minister 
will  proceed  as  follows : 

Ord.  Min. —  A  B:You  have  already  been  ordained 
as  a  Minister,  and  have  been  authorized  to  perform  the 
duties  which  belong  to  the  first  grade  in  the  ministry. 
The  New  Jerusalem  Society  in  this  place  has  invited 
you  to  become  its  pastor,  and  you  have  accepted  the 
invitation  ;  and  we  are  now  assembled  to  perform  the 
religious  services  by  which  you  are  to  be  inducted 
into  that  office. 

Do  you  now,  therefore,  in  the  presence  of  the  LORD, 
and  of  this  assembly,  declare  that  you  desire  to  be  in- 
troduced into  this  office,  in  order  that  you  may  teach 
and  lead  this  people  according  to  the  Heavenly  Doc- 
trines of  the  New  Jerusalem,  as  unfolded  from  the 
LORD'S  Holy  Word,  in  the  writings  of  Emanuel  Swe- 
denborg? 

Answer.  —  I  do. 


The  candidate  will  then   kneel,  and  the  Ordaining  Minister  will  lay  hia 
hands  upon  his  head,  and  address  him  as  follows: 

Ord.  Min. —  You  are  hereby  introduced  into  the  of- 
fice of  pastor  of  this  society.      You  an-  auihori/ed  to 


13t>  INSTALLATION. 

preside  at  its  ecclesiastical  meetings;  to  officiate  in 
receiving  members  into  it ;  to  watch  over  them  ;  to  ad- 
minister unto  them  the  ordinances  of  the  church;  to 
instruct  them  in  its  doctrines,  and  lead  them  in  the 
way  of  life  eternal. 

And  while  you  are  performing  these  duties,  may 
you  know  and  acknowledge  Him  who  standeth  in  the 
midst  of  us:  may  you  be  under  the  influence  and 
guidance  of  Him  who  baptizeth  with  the  Holy  Spirit 
and  with  fire:  may  the  LORD  JESUS  CHRIST  be  wilh 
you  always :  may  He  open  your  understanding,  so 
that  you  may  perceive  in  all  the  Scriptures  things 
concerning  himself:  may  you  receive  of  his  fulness, 
and  grace  for  grace  :  and  may  he  enable  you  freely 
to  give,  as  you  have  freely  received. 

JEHOVAH  bless  thee,  and  keep  thee  :  JEHOVAH  make 
his  face  to  shine  upon  thee,  and  be  gracious  unto  thee: 
JEHOVAH  lift  up  his  countenance  upon  thee,  and  give 
thee  peace. 

Here  an  Anthem,  Selection,  or  Hymn  may  be  sung.

CONSECRATION. 


;o  much  as  may  be  proper  of  that  part  of  the  Ordination  Service  which 
precedes  the  questions  to  the  candidate,  may  here  be  used;  after  which, 
the  service  will  proceed  as  follows: 


WHEN  a  person  is  about  to  enter  upon  an  office  of 
dignity  and  honor,  it  is  important  for  him  to  examine 
himself,  that  he  may  see  what  his  motives  are,  and 
what  affections  are  prevailing  in  his  mind. 

It  is  of  Divine  Order,  and  of  the  Divine  Providence, 
that  there  should  be  governments  in  the  church  and 
in  the  state  :  for  without  government,  evils  could  not 
be  prevented  in  a  community;  without  government, 
the  good  of  the  whole  could  not  be  provided  for  ;  with- 
out government,  men  cannot  be  brought  into  their 
proper  relations  to  one  another,  so  that  they  may  work 
Together  —  so  that  many  men  may  become  as  one 
man  —  so  that  the  power  of  every  part  may  contri- 
bute to  the  security,  the  welfare,  and  the  happiness 
of  every  other  part. 

And  as  there  must  be  governments  in  the  church 
and  in  the  state,  so  there  must  be  offices,  both  eccle- 
siastical and  civil ;  and  there  must  be  various  grades 
among  the  offices,  that  the  rulers  themselves  may  be 
superintended,  that  each  one  may  perform  his  own 
duly,  and  that  the  true  relations  among  them  may  be 
preserved. 

Thus  it  may  be  seen  that  all  offices  are  designed 
for  uses  ;  and  that  all  persons  who  properly  fill  offices, 
are  employed,  not  in  making  others  do  good  unto 
them,  but  in  themselves  doing  good  unto  others  :  the 
higher  the  office,  the  less  does  any  one  do  for  himself, 
and  the  more  for  others. 

12' 


138  CONSECRATION. 

And  as  offices  are  designed  for  uses,  and  as  those 
who  fill  them  must  be  employed  in  performing  uses 
so  it  is  of  Divine  Order  that  offices  should  be  desired 
from  a  love  of  uses,  and  filled  with  a  love  of  use?. 
This  is  the  case  with  angels  and  spiritual  men.  The 
ruling  love  with  all  of  them  is  love  towards  others; 
and  the  love  from  which  they  act  in  their  offices  is  the 
love  of  performing  uses  to  their  neighbors.  This  cha- 
racteristic they  derive  from  Him  who  fills  the  highest 
office,  and  who  rules  over  all  in  the  heavens.  He 
does  not  act  from  the  love  of  governing,  from  a  love 
of  glory,  nor  from  a  love  of  having  his  subjects  wor- 
ship, honor,  and  serve  him  ;  but  from  a  love  of  doing 
good  unto  them.  And  when  he  came  into  the  world, 
not  to  be  ministered  unto,  but  to  minister  unto  others, 
he  manifested  his  true  character,  and  showed  the  na- 
ture of  the  love  from  which  he  always  acts. 

Whence  it  is  manifest,  that,  if  we  would  he  in  his 
kingdom,  and  would  be  conjoined  with  him,  we  must 
act  from  a  similar  love;  that  those  in  his  kingdom 
who  are  nearest  to  him,  are  most,  like  him  ;  that  those 
who  are  most  elevated,  are  the  most  humble  ;  and  that 
those  who  fill  the  highest  offices,  are  the  least  under 
the  influence  of  self-love,  and  most  under  the  influence 
of  love  towards  others:  accordingly,  when  he  had,  by 
a  life  of  usefulness,  showed  the  nature  of  his  own 
love,  then,  in  order  that  we  might  become  like  him,  he 
said  unto  the  disciples,  "  Whosoever  will  be  great 
among  you,  let  him  be  your  minister;  and  whosoever 
\vill  be  chief  among  you,  let  him  be  your  servant." 


The  Ordaining  Minister  will  here  address  the  candidate  as  fol.ovvs: 

Ord.  Min. —  You  have  already  been  ordained  as  a 
Minister  of  the  New  Jerusalem,  and  have  been  autho- 
rized to  perform  the  duties  which  belong  to  the  first 
grade  in  the  ministry.  Application  has  been  made 
to  the  proper  authorities,  that  you  be  introduced  into 
the  second  grade,  and  the  request  has  been  granted. 

Do  you  now,  in  the  presence  of  the  LORD,  and  of 


CONSECRATION.  Io9 

this  assembly,  declare  that  you  desire  to  be  introduced 
into  this  grade  of  the  ministry,  in  order  that  you  may 
perform  the  duties  of  it  ? 
Answer.  —  I  do. 


Then  shall  the  Ordaining  Minister  read  the  following  passages: 

AND  JESUS  carne  and  spake  unto  them,  saying,  All 
power  is  given  unto  me  in  heaven  and  in  earth.  Go 
ye,  therefore,  and  make  disciples  of  all  nations,  bap- 
tizing them  into  the  name  of  the  FATHER,  and  of  the 
SON,  and  of  the  HOLY  SPIRIT;  teaching  them  to  do  all 
things  whatsoever  I  have  commanded  you  :  and,  lo, 
I  am  with  you  all  the  days,  until  the  consummation 
of  the  age.  Amen. —  Matt,  xxviii.  18  —  20. 

And  as  ye  go,  preach,  saying,  The  kingdom  of 
heaven  is  at  hand. 

Behold,  I  send  you  forth  as  sheep  in  the  midst  of 
wolves:  be  ye  therefore  wise  as  serpents,  and  harm- 
less as  doves. 

He  that  receiveth  you,  receiveth  me ;  and  he  that 
receiveth  me,  receiveth  him  that  sent  me. —  Matt.  x. 
7,  16,  40. 

Ye  have  not  chosen  me,  but  I  have  chosen  you,  and 
ordained  you,  that  ye  should  go  and  bring  forth  fruit, 
and  that  your  fruit  should  remain  :  that  whatsoever 
ye  shall  ask  of  the  FATHER  in  my  name,  he  may  give 
it  you.  —  John  xv.  16. 

Peace  be  unto  you :  as  the  FATHER  hath  sent  me,  1 
also  send  you.  And  when  he  had  said  this,  he  breath- 
ed on  then),  and  saith  unto  them,  Receive  ye  the  Holy 
Spirit.  —  John  xx.  21  22. 


Here,  the  candidate  kneeling,  the  Ordaining  Minister  shall  lay  his  hands 
upon  his  head,  ana  say: 

Ord.  Min. —  You  are  hereby  introduced  into  the 
second  grade  of  the  ministry.  You  arc  authorized  to 
institute  Societies  and  Associations  :  to  grant  licenses, 
and  to  ordain  ministers,  according  to  the  Constitution 


140  ORDINATION. 

of  the  General  Convention  :  to  counsel  them,  and  to 
watch  over  them  :  to  officiate  at  the  installation  of 
pastors  :  to  preside  at  the  ecclesiastical  meetings  of 
the  Convention,  and  of  Associations,  when  invited  to 
do  so  :  and  to  administer  the  Holy  Supper  on  those 
occasions.  And  that  you  may  be  able  to  perform 
these  uses,  may  the  LORD  JESUS  CHRIST  be  with  you 
always  :  may  he  breathe  upon  you,  and  cause  you  to 
receive  his  Holy  Spirit:  may  he,  fill  you  with  the  love 
which  he  feels  towards  men  ;  and  may  he  cause  you 
to  receive  of  his  fulness,  and  grace  for  grace. 

JEHOVAH  bless  thee,  and  keep  thee :  JEHOVAH  make 
his  face  to  shine  upon  thee,  and  be  gracious  unto

give  thee  peace.

The  Minister  shall  place  the  Word,  open,  upon  the  desk,  to  denote  that  its 
internal  sense  is  now  revealed. 


The  "  Order  of  Worship  "  may  be  followed  to  the  close  of  the  Prayer:  then

verse;  or  the  whole  may  be  read  by  the  Minister. 

1 .  O  JEHOVAH,  remember  David, 
And  |  all  |  his  af  |  flictions : 

2.  How  he  sware  unto  JEHOVAH, 

And  vowed  unto  the  |  MIGHTY  |  !">NE  of  |  Jacob  ; 

3.  Surely  I  will  not  come  into  the  tabernacle  of  my 

house, 
Nor  go  |  up  in  |  to  rny  j  bed  ; 

4.  I  v  iii  not  give  sleep  to  mine  eyes, 
Or  j  clumber  |  to  mine  J  eyelids  ; 

5.  Until  I  find  out  a  place  for  JEHOVAH, 
Habitations  for  the  |  MIGHTY  |  ONE  of  |  Jacob. 

0.  Lo,  we  heard  of  it  at  Ephratah  : 

We  found  it  j  in  the  |  fields  •  of  the  |  wood. 

7.  We  will  go  into  his  tabernacles: 
We  will  |  worship  |  at  his  |  footstool. 

8.  Arise,  O  JEHOVAH,  into  thy  rest ; 
Thou,  and  the  |  ark  |  of  thy  |  strength. 

9.  Let  thy  priests  be  clothed  with  righteousness; 
And  let  thy  j  saints  |  shout  for  |  joy 


142  DEDICATION. 

10.  For  JEHOVAH  hath  chosen  Zion  ; 

He  hath  desired  it  |  for  his  [  habi  |  tation. 

11.  This  is  my  rest  for  ever : 

Here  will  I  dwell ;  for  I  |  have  de  |  sired  |  it 

12.  I  will  abundantly  bless  her  provision: 
Her  poor  will  I  |  satis  |  fy  with  |  bread. 

13.  I  will  also  clothe  her  priests  with  salvation  : 
And  her  saints  shall  |  shout  a  |  loud  for  |  joy 

The  Minister  may  then  read  1  Kings  VIH.  1-63. 

The  Doxology  in  the  Order  of  Worship,  p.  23,  may  follow. 

Here  mav  be  read  the  Ten  Commandments. 


Then  may  be  read  a  Lesson  from  the  New  Testament:  John  n.  13-25;   or 

some  other  suitable  portion. 


Here  may  be  read  the  following 

ADDRESS. 

WE  are  assembled  together  in  this  place,  for  the 
purpose  of  setting  apart  this  house  from  all  ordinary 
and  secular  uses,  and  dedicating  it  to  the  more  imme- 
diate service  of  the  LORD,  and  to  the  performance  of 
the  uses  of  divine  worship  and  religious  instruction. 

Though,  indeed,  the  heaven,  and  heaven  of  heavens, 
cannot  contain  the  LORD,  much  less  this  house  that  is 
built  with  men's  hands  ;  yet  may  he  have  respect  unto 
the  prayers  which  we  offer  up  unto  him  this  day,  and 
grant  that  his  name  may  be  placed  here.  He  hath 
said,  "  Where  two  or  three  are  gathered  together  in 
my  name,  there  am  I  in  the  midst  of  them."  May  he 
be  thus  present  with  us,  and  be  in  the  midst  of  us. 

We  hope  and  trust  that  this  house  has  been  built 


DEDICATION.  H3 

from  the  desire  to  promote  the  advancement  of  the 
LORD'S  kingdom  upon  the  earth.  It  is  henceforth  to 
be  set  apart  from  all  worldly  and  secular  uses,  and  to 
be  exclusively  appropriated  to  the  worship  and  ser- 
vice of  the  LORD  JESUS  CHRIST.  It  is  to  be  conse- 
crated to  the  uses  of  that  worship,  and  to  instruction 
in  the  Heavenly  Doctrines  of  the  New  Jerusalem. 
This  altar,  this  pulpit,  these  seats,  and  all  things  be- 
longing to  this  house,  are  to  be  consecrated  to  the1, 
uses  of  religious  worship  and  instruction. 

The  Doctrines  of  the  New  Jerusalem  have  been 
revealed  from  the  LORD  out  of  heaven.  In  this  house 
we  desire  to  be  instructed  in  these  Heavenly  Doc- 
trines. Here  may  we,  and  our  children,  and  our 
children's  children,  and  whosoever  will,  come  and 
drink  of  the  waters  of  life.  Here  may  we  receive  the 
Bread  that  cometh  down  from  heaven,  and  giveth  life 
unto  the  world.  Here  may  the  tabernacle  of  GOD  be 
with  men,  and  may  he  dwell  with  them,  and  they  be 
his  people,  and  GOD  himself  be  with  them,  and  be 
their  GOD. 

Here  we  place  the  Sacred  Scriptures.  And  when 
the  ministers  of  the  LORD  here  endeavor  to  expound 
these  Scriptures,  and  perform  the  other  duties  of  their 
office,  may  they  remember  that  they  stand  in  his  pre- 
sence, and  that  they  are  his  ambassadors  and  repre- 
sentatives. May  they  know  and  acknowledge  him, 
and  act  under  his  guidance  and  influence.  May  their 
understandings  be  opened,  so  that  they  may  see,  and 
be  enabled  to  show,  in  all  the  Scriptures,  things  con- 
cerning him. 

And  when  the  LORD'S  people  draw  near  in  spirit 
unto  him  in  this  place,  when  they  hold  communion 
with  him  in  prayer,  when  they  express  their  affections 
in  songs  of  praise,  and  thanksgiving,  and  glorification, 
and  when  they  read  and  listen  to  his  holy  Word,  may 
the  influences  of  the  LORD'S  grace,  mercy,  and  peace 
be  given  unto  them  in  rich  abundance. 

When  the  ordinance  of  Baptism  is  administered 
here,  may  those,  who  receive  it  be  afterward  bapti/ed 
with  the  Holy  Spirit  and  with  fire. 


144  DEDICATION. 

When  the  table  of  the  LORD  is  spread  in  this  house, 
may  his  children  come  to  this  holy  ordinance  in  faith 
and  charity:  may  they  eat  and  drink  worthily,  and 
thus  receive  truly  human  life  from  him. 

And  whenever  the  worshipers  of  the  LORD  shall 
come  up  to  this  house,  to  perform  any  of  the  duties 
that  are  enjoined  upon  them  in  the  Sacred  Scriptures 
and  the  Doctrines  of  the  New  Jerusalem,  may  they 
have  grace  given  them  to  worship  him  in  spirit  and  in 
truth ;  and,  coming  before  him  with  clean  hands  and 
a  pure  heart,  may  the  services  which  they  shall  per- 
form here  be  always  acceptable  to  him.  And  may 
the  grace  of  the  LORD  JESUS  CHRIST  be  always  with 
them.  Amen. 


Then  the  New  Jerusalem  Sen-ice  may  be  used,  or  a  Selection  or  Hymn  may 
be  sung,  all  standing.

[When  receivers  of  the  Heavenly  Doctrines  desire  to  come  into 
the  form  of  a  Society  of  the  LORD'S  New  Church,  it  is  desirable 
that  this  be  done  after  some  orderly  manner,  that  will  conduce  to 
the  end  for  which  brethren  should  be  thus  associated  ;  namely,  the 
more  full  acknowledgment  and  worship  of  the  LOUD,  and  the  per- 
formance of  the  uses  of  mutual  charity.  The  following  order  of 
exercises  for  such  an  occasion  may  be  used. 

If  any  of  those  who  are  to  constitute  the  Society,  have  not  pre- 
viously been  introduced  into  the  New  Church  by  baptism,  and  have 
not  made  an  acknowledgment  of  their  faith  in  the  doctrines,  and  of 
their  desire  and  intention  to  live  according  to  them,  this  should  be 
done  before  proceeding  with  the  services.] 


The  Minister  may  commence  the  service  by  reading  one  or  more  of  the  fol 
lowing  passages: 

I  WAS  glad  when  they  said  unto  rne, 
Let  us  go  into  the  house  of  JEHOVAH. 
Our  feet  shall  stand  within  thy  gates,  O  Jerusalem : 
Jerusalem  is  built  as  a  city  that  is  compact  together. 
Whither  the  tribes  go  up,  the  tribes  of  JAH, 
A  testimony  to  Israel, 
To  give  thanks  to  the  name  of  JEHOVAH. 
For  there  are  set  thrones  of  judgment, 
TtiL-  thrones  of  the  house  of  David. 
Pray  for  the  peace  of  Jerusalem  : 
They  shall  prosper  that  love  thee. 
Peace  be  within  thy  walls, 
Prosperity  within  thy  palaces. 
For  my  brethren  and  companions'  sakes, 
1  will  now  say,  Peace  be  within  thee. 
For  the  sake  of  the  house  of  JEHOVAH  our  Goo, 
I  will  seek  good  to  thee. —  Ps.  cxxii.

BEHOLD,  how  good  and  how  pleasant  it  is, 
For  brethren  to  dwell  together  in  unity. 
It  is  like  the  precious  ointment  upon  the  head, 
That  ran  down  upon  the  beard,  Aaron's  beard, 
That  went  down  to  the  skirts  of  his  garments : 
Like  the  dew  of  Herrnon, 
That  descended  upon  the  mountains  of  Zion: 
For  there  JEHOVAH  commanded  the  blessing, 
Life  forevermore.  —  Ps.  cxxxiii. 

IF  thy  brother  shall  trespass  against  thee,  go  and 
tell  him  his  fault  between  thee  and  him  alone  :  if  he 
shall  hear  thee,  thou  hast  gained  thy  brother.  But  if 
he  will  not  hear,  take  with  thee  one  or  two  more,  that 
in  the  mouth  of  two  or  three  witnesses  every  word 
may  be  established.  And  if  he  shall  neglect  to  hear 
them,  tell  it  unto  the  church  :  but  if  he  m-g'ect  to 
hear  the  church,  let  him  be  unto  thee  as  an  heathen 
man  and  a  publican.  Verily  I  say  unto  you,  What- 
soever ye  shall  bind  on  earth,  shall  be  bound  in  hea- 
ven ;  and  whatsoever  ye  shall  loose  on  earth,  shall  be 
loosed  in  heaven.  Again  I  say  unto  you,  That  if  two 
of  you  shall  agree  on  earth  as  touching  any  thing 
that  they  shall  ask,  it  shall  be  done  for  them  of  my 
FATHER  who  is  in  heaven  :  for  where  two  or  three  are 
gathered  together  in  my  name,  there  am  I  in  the 
midst  of  them. —  Mat.  xviii.  15-20. 

A  NEW  commandment  I  give  unto  you,  That  ye 
love  one  another;  as  1  have  loved  you,  that  ye  also 
love  one  another.  By  this  shall  all  know  that  ye  are 
my  disciples,  if  ye  have  love  one  to  another.  —  John 
xiii.  34,  35. 

THESE  things  I  command  you,  that  ye  love  one  an- 
other. If  the  world  hate  you,  ye  know  that  it  hated 
me  before  it  hated  you.  If  ye  were  of  the  world,  the 
world  would  love  its  own  :  but  because  ye  are  not  of 
the  world,  but  1  have  chosen  you  out  of  the  world, 
therefore  the  world  hateth  you.  —  John  xv.  17-19. 


INSTITUTION    OF    SOCIETIES.  147 

Then  the  Minister  may  read  the  following 

ADDRESS. 

WE  are  not  required  to  form  ourse.ves  into  socie* 
ties,  or  churches,  because  such  a  requirement  is  not 
necessary.  It  is  not  necessary  that  we  should  be  re- 
quired To  do  things  which  we  love  to  do,  but  things 
which  we  do  not  love  to  do,  and  at  the  same  time 
need  to  do.  It  is  true  that,  while  we  are  in  a  natural 
state  of  mind,  we  have  no  disposition  to  form  our- 
selves into  churches,  and  to  perform  the  duties  of 
members;  and  it  is  equally  true,  that  while  we  are 
in  that  state,  we  ought  not  to  form  ourselves  into 
churches.  But  we  are  required  to  do  things  which 
will  bring  us  into  a  suitable  state  —  which  will  bring 
us  out  of  a  natural  state  into  a  spiritual  one  ;  that  is, 
out.  of  a  state  in  which  natural  loves  rule,  into  one  in 
which  spiritual  loves  rule.  We  are  required  to  ab- 
stain from  evils,  because  they  are  sins  against  God  : 
and  as  far  as  we  conform  to  this  requirement,  so  far 
the  love  of  doing  evils  will  be  overcome,  together 
with  the  love  of  self  and  the  world,  in  which  all  evil 
affections  originate  ;  and  as  far  as  these  evil  loves  are 
overcome  and  removed,  so  far  will  good  loves  (low  in, 
and  will  prevail  in  us  :  as  the  powei  of  love  to  self 
and  to  the  world  diminishes,  the  power  of  love  to  the 
LORD  and  love  to  the  neighbor  increases. 

Now  the  spiritual  labors  by  which  we  resist  evil 
loves,  are  what  is  denoted  by  the  ordinance  of  Bap- 
tism ;  and  the  reception  and  exercise  of  the  good 
loves  which  How  in  after  evil  loves  are  overcome,  are 
what  is  denoted  by  the  Holy  Supper.  Hence  we  may 
see  why  it  was,  at.  the  time  when  he  was  instituting 
this  ordinance,  that  the  LORD  announced  to  his  dis- 
ciples that  he  gave  them  a  new  commandment,  which 
was,  that  they  should  love  one  another. 

When  we  come  under  this  new  co  nmandment,  or 
become  filled  with  this  new  love,  we  shall  be  churches 


148  INSTITUTION   OF   SOCIETIES. 

in  the  least  form ;  and  the  same  principle  will  lead  us 
to  do  good  unto  others,  to  unite  with  them,  and  thus 
to  become  churches  in  a  larger  form.  We  shall  regard 
those  who  have  affections  similar  to  ours,  as  our  near- 
est relatives.  We  shall  constantly  remember  that 
their  good  affections,  and  our  good  affections,  flow 
down  from  the  same  source  —  from  the  Fountain  of 
our  spiritual  life  —  from  our  FATHER  who  is  in  the 
heavens:  we  shall  consequently  be  sensible  that  we 
are  brethren ;  and  we  shall  perceive  how  good  and 
how  pleasant  it  is  for  brethren  to  dwell  together  in 
unity. 

It  is  good,  and  it  is  pleasant.  It  gratifies  our  new 
wills  and  our  new  understandings.  It  is  in  the  high- 
est degree  both  useful  and  agreeable.  Hence  we  find, 
in  the  revelations  which  have  been  made  to  the  New 
Church  concerning  the  spiritual  world,  that  heaven 
consists  of  innumerable  societies,  that  the  angels  are 
adapted  to  one  another  by  their  various  capacities,  and 
are  united  by  loving  and  doing  good  to  one  another. 

The  LORD  has  provided  that  these  same  principles 
may  be  implanted  in  us  while  we  live  in  this  world; 
and  as  soon  as  they  are  implanted,  they  will  lead  us 
to  begin  to  act  in  a  similar  manner.  They  will  make 
us  love  one  another,  and  make  us  desire  to  live  toge- 
ther, and  act  together. 

The  uses  of  living  in  this  manner  are  various,  and 
in  the  highest  degree  important.  It  gives  us  spiritual 
freedom.  It  gives  us  an  opportunity  to  bring  forth 
all  the  genuine  New  Church  affections  and  thoughts 
that  are  conceived  within  us.  It  places  us  in  circum- 
stances that  are  most  favorable  for  obedience  to  the 
new  commandment ;  for  love  to  one  another  is  in  its 
most  active  and  delightful  state,  it  enjoys  and  rejoices 
most,  and  it  appears  in  its  truest  forms,  and  puts  on 
its  most  beautiful  ornaments,  when  it  meets  with 
those  who  act  upon  the  same  principle,  when  it  can 
see  the  likeness  of  its  heavenly  FATHER  in  those  who 
are  around  it,  so  that  when  it  is  doing  good  unto  them, 
it  can  perceive  that  it  is  doing  good  unto  Him.  When 
we  do  ourselves  act  from  love  to  one  another,  and  are 


INSTITUTION    OF    SOCIETIES.  1  !'.» 

associated  with  those  who  act  from  similar  love,  then 
we  can  bear  one  another's  burdens,  can  protect  one. 
another  from  evil,  can  aid  one  another  in  seeing  and 
removing  the  evils  which  still  adhere  to  us,  and  can 
receive,  welcome,  and  cherish  the  good  things  which 
come  down  from  heaven,  when  the  way  is  thus  pre- 
pared. 

When  we  are  united  in  this  manner,  we  arc  a  soci- 
ety of  the  church,  and  can  perform  the  uses  of  a  church 
in  the  world,  h  is  our  duty  to  provide  for  having 
the  ordinances  administered  in  a  proper  manner.  It 
is  our  duty  to  have  social  worship  ;  to  unite  in  prayer, 
in  thanksgiving,  and  in  praise  ;  to  magnify  the  LORD, 
and  to  exalt  his  name  together:  for  it  is  the  duty  of 
us  all ;  and  in  doing  it  together,  we  aid  one  another, 
and  unite  love  to  the  LORD  with  love  to  the  neighbor. 
Jt  is  our  duty  to  receive  spiritual  instruction  together; 
for  brotherly  love  is  the  feeling  into  which  spiritual 
truth  can  be  received,  and  brotherly  life  is  the  form 
in  which  it  is  brought  into  effect.  When  we  are 
united  by  this  feeling,  we  cooperate,  and  aid  one  an- 
other in  receiving  the  truth,  and  in  practising  it. 

And  while  wre  are  thus  earnestly  engaged  in  per- 
forming our  own  duties,  we  shall  be  doing  the  great- 
est possible  service  to  our  children,  and  to  those  who 
are  looking  to  us  for  spiritual  instruction  ;  for  we 
shall  then  be  giving  that  instruction  in  the  most  intel- 
ligible, the  most  attractive,  and  the  most  effective 
manner.  We  give  it,  not  as  a  curious  subject  of  spe- 
culation, of  criticism,  and  debate  ;  but  we  present  it 
in  a  living  form,  as  it  is  when  doing  its  work.  In  this 
case,  it  is  attended  by  a  sanctity  that  affects  the 
hearts,  and  a  power  that  carries  it  into  the  lives,  of 
all  who  are  prepared  to  receive  ir.  The  instruction 
which  is  given  in  this  manner,  comes  down  like  the 
holy  oil  and  the  heavenly  dew;  it  has  a  vivifying  and 
saving  influence,  wherever  it  goes:  for  in  it  the  Lour 
conveys  his  blessing,  life  forevermore.

150  INSTITUTION   OF   SOCIETIES. 

Those  who  are  to  constitute  the  Society,  sitting;  conveniently  together, 
should  rise  as  their  names  are  here  read  by  the  Minister;  who  may  then 
address  them  as  follows : 

Min.  —  You  have  been  introduced  into  the  New 
Church  by  baptism  ;  you  have  declared  your  faith  in 
the  Heavenly  Doctrines  of  the  New  Jerusalem,  and 
your  desire  and  intention  to  live  according  to  them  : 
I)o  you  now  wish  to  become  united  into  a  society  for 
that  purpose  ? 

Answer.  —  We  do. 

Min. —  You  are  therefore  hereby  acknowledged  as 
a  regularly  instituted  society,  under  the  name  of 
;  and  are  commended  to  the  fel- 
lowship of  all  other  societies  of  the  New  Jerusalem. 


They  should  then  sign  their  names  to  the  Articles  of  Charity  and  Faith,  or 
Doctrines  of  the  New  Church,  hi  a  book  provided  for  that  purpose;  after 
•which  the  Holy  Supper  may  be  administered. 


ADMISSION  OF   MEMBERS  INTO 
SOCIETIES. 


The  candidate*  should  rise  as  their  names  are  called  by  the  Minister;  and 
then  he  should  ask  them  the  following  question : 


Min. —  You  have  been  introduced  into  the  New 
Church  by  baptism  ;  you  have  also  declared  your  faith 
in  the  Heavenly  Doctrines  of  the  Ne\v  Jerusalem,  and 
your  desire  to  live  according  to  them  :  Do  you  now 
desire  to  become  members  of  this  Society  for  that 
purpose  ? 

Answer.  —  I  do. 


Then  the  Society  should  rise,  and  the  Minister  should  take  the  candidate* 
by  tbe  hand,  and  address  them  as  follows : 


Min. —  We  therefore  freely  receive  you  into  our 
communion  ;  we  acknowledge  you  as  members  of  this 
Society,  and  as  having  a  right  to  all  the  privileges 
which  we  enjoy. 


They  should  then  sign  their  names  to  the  Articles  of  Charity  and  Faith,  or 
the  Doctrines  of  the  New  Church,  in  the  book  of  the  Society. 


INSTITUTION    OF    ASSOCIATIONS. 


[When  several  Societies  in  the  New  Church  desire  to  come  into 
the  form  of  an  Association,  the  following  order  of  services  may 
be  used.] 


The  delegates  or  representatives  of  the  Societies  which  are  to  constitute  tho 
Association  being  seated  near  each  other,  the  Minister  may  read  the  pas- 
sages and  address  in  the  order  of  services  for  the  Institution  of  Societies, 
and  then  proceed  as  follows : 

AND  as  individuals  become  more  useful  to  one  an- 
other, and  to  the  world,  by  being  formed  into  Socie- 
ties;  so  Societies  become  more  useful  to  one  another, 
and  to  the  world,  by  being  formed  into  Associations. 
As  all  the  parts  of  the  body  are  different,  and  as  all 
these  differences  qualify  the  parts  to  perform  different 
uses,  and  make  the  whole  a  complete  system  of  uses  ; 
so  it  is  with  individuals  and  societies.  Every  part 
does,  either  directly  or  indirectly,  contribute  to  the 
welfare  of  the  whole;  and  the  whole  does,  either  di- 
rectly or  indirectly,  contribute  to  the  welfare  of  every 
part.  The  LORD  himself  loves  the  whole,  and  all  the 
parts  ;  and  he  is  continually  endeavoring  to  do  good 
unto  them  :  so,  as  they  become  recipients  of  his  love, 
they  learn  to  love  one  another,  and  to  do  good  to  one 
another. 


Here  the  delegates  will  rise,  as  the  Minister  reads  their  names;  when  he 
shall  address  them  as  follows: 

Min.  —  Do  you  now,  as  the  representatives  of 

Societies  in  the  New  Jerusalem, 


speaking  and  acting  in  their  behalf,  wish  to  be  united 


INSTITUTION   OF   ASSOCIATIONS.  153 

into  an  Association,  as  a  means  of  enabling  you 
more^fully  to  perform  the  uses  of  mutual  charity  ? 

Answer.  —  We  do. 

Min. —  You  are  therefore  hereby  acknowledged  as 
a  regularly  instituted  Association,  under  the  name  of 
;  and  are  commended  to  the  fel- 
lowship of  all  other  Associations  in  the  New  Jerusa- 
lem. 


They  should  then  sign  the  Articles  of  Charity  and  Faith,  or  the  Doctrines 
of  the  New  Church,  in  a  book  provided  for  that  purpose. 


Than  may  the  Holy  Supper  be  administered. 


FAMILY  WORSHIP. 

MORNING  AND  EVENING  PRAYER. 


Once,  or  more,  on  each  day,  at  some  regular  hour,  all  the 
members  of  the  household  should  assemble  themselves  to- 
gether for  the  worship  of  the  LORD  ;  when  a  portion  of 
the  Holy  Word  should  be  read  ;  after  which,  all  kneeling, 
the  head  of  the  family,  or  some  other  suitable  person, 
should  lead  in  the  use  of  the  LORD'S  Prayer :  or  any  of 
the  prayers  in  the  Order  of  Worship  may  be  used,  or  such 
other  as  may  be  desired.  After  prayer,  a  Selection,  An- 
them, or  Hymn  may  be  sung,  if  convenient.

speak  the  praise  of  JEHOVAH  ;  and  let  all  flesh  bless 
his  holy  name  for  ever  and  ever:  Amen. —  Ps.  cxlv. 
1,  15,  16.21. 

O  GIVE  thanks  unto  JEHOVAH,  for  he  is  good;  for 
his  mercy  end  ureth  forever.  .  .  .  For  he  satisfieth  the 
longing  soul,  and  rilleth  the  hungry  soul  with  good- 
ness. Arnen.  —  Ps.  cvii.  1,  9. 

O  JEHOVAH,  how  manifold  are  thy  works:  in  wis- 
dom hast  thou  made  them  all :  the  earth  is  full  of 
thy  riches.  Amen.  —  Ps.  civ.  24. 

How  excellent  is  thy  loving-kindness,  O  GOD  : 
therefore  the  children  of  men  put  their  trust  under  the 
shadow  of  thy  wings.  They  shall  be  abundantly  sa- 
tisfied with  the  fatness  of  thy  house;  and  thou  shalt 
make  them  drink  of  the  river  of  thy  pleasures:  for 
with  thee  is  the  fountain  of  life.  Amen.  —  Ps.  xxxvi.

GLOHY  TO  GOD  IN  THE  HIGHEST.

the  LORD  came  upon  them  ;  and  the  glory  of  the  LORD  shone 
round  about  them  :  and  they  were  sore  afraid.  And  the  angel 
said  unto  them,  Fear  not :  for  behold  I  bring  you  good  tidings 
of  great  joy,  which  shall  be  to  all  people  :  For  unto  you,  in  the 
city  of  David,  is  born  this  day  a  Savior,  who  is  CHRIST  the 
LORD.  And  this  shall  be  a  sign  unto  you :  ye  shall  find  the

CHANTING. 


THE  LORD  is  Love  and  Wisdom,  or  Goodness  and  Truth;  and 
ibe  doctrines  of  the  New  Church  teach  that  these  two  not  only  make 
one  in  him,  but  are  always  found  united  in  his  Word.  It  is  on  this 
account  that  in  the  Scriptures  subjects  so  often  occur  in  pairs ;  and 
it  is  for  the  same  reason  that  in  the  Psalms  the  verses  are  generally 
made  up  of  two  clauses  or  lines,  composing  a  couplet,  called  by 
scholars  a  parallelism.  The  same  is  the  case  in  the  1'rophets,  except 
that  the  verses  often  contain  two  or  more  couplets.  This  feature  in 
the  Scriptures  is  the  origin  of  the  common  Chant. 

A  Chant  is  a  short  musical  composition,  consisting  of  two  divi- 
sions, for  singing  the  two  lines  of  a  couplet  or  verse.  The  first  note 
of  each  division  is  called  the  chanting  note:  it  has  no  time,  but  is 
longer  or  shorter  according  lo  the  number  of  words  sung  to  it.  The 
remainder  of  each  division  is  called  the  cadence,  and  must  be  sung 
in  strict  time.  To  the  chanting  note  of  the  first  division  are  sung 
the  words  of  the  first  line,  except  so  many  syllables  as  are  necessary 
to  sing  the  notes  of  the  cadence ;  and  the  second  line  is  sung  to  the 
second  division  in  the  same  manner.  This  is  the  Single  Chant. 
A  Double  Chant  consists  of  tour  divisions,  and  sings  two  verses. 
Verses  are  sometimes  found  having  three  lines,  as  in  Sel.  38, 
ver.  7  -  10  ;  Sel.  255  :  these  require  a  Chant  of  three  divisions,  called 
a  Ternary  Chant. 

In  this  work,  the  words  are  marked  for  application  to  the  music, 
measure  for  measure.  The  lines  are  divided  by  perpendicular 
dashes,  which  correspond  to  the  bars  of  the  music.  The  words, 
therefore,  which  precede  the  first  dash,  are  to  be  sung  to  the  chanting 
note  ;  and  the  words  or  syllables  between  the  dashes,  and  after  the 
last  dash,  are  to  be  sung  to  corresponding  measures  of  the  cadence. 

The  simplest  form  of  division  is  where  the  accents  of  the  words 
admit  of  giving  one  syllable  to  each  note  of  the  cadence;  as  in 
Sel.  59,  verse  1.  But  the  accents  of  the  words  often  render  it 
necessary  to  leave  but  one  syllable  in  a  measure,  or  to  put  three  into 
a  measure,  or  to  give  two  to  the  last  note :  and  all  these  may  be 
found  in  the  same  line;  as  in  Sel.  217,  ver.  2,  line  2. 

When  one  syllable  fills  a  measure,  it  is  to  be  sung  to  all  the  notes 
of  that  measure;  as  in  Sel.  59,  ver.  5,  line  2.  When  three  syllables 
are  found  in  a  measure,  the  middle  of  the  measure  is  indicated  by  a 
aot ,'  and  the  two  syllables  which  fall  on  either  side  of  the  dot  are  to 
be  sung  as  two  quarter-notes;  Sel.  59,  ver.  4  and  5.  There  are 
two  classes  of  cases  in  which  the  dot  is  dispensed  with.  First,  when 
any  mark  of  punctuation  falls  among  the  three  syllables,  it  serves  the 
purpose  of  the  dot;  as  in  Sel.  59,  ver.  3,  line  2:  unless  it  be  con- 
tradicted by  a  dot,  as  in  Sel.  195,  ver.  3,  line  2.  Secondly,  when 
two  of  the  three  syllables  belong  to  the  same  word,  the  space  between 


CHANTING  245 

tie  words  divides  the  measure ;  as  in  Sel.  59,  ver.  2,  line  2 ;  also 
Sel.  92,  ver.  3,  line  2:  unless  contradicted  by  a  dot,  as  in  Sel.  59, 
ver.  4,  line  2,  and  ver.  5,  line  1.  When  two  syllables  are  given  to 
the  last  note  of  the  chant,  they  are  to  be  sung  as  two  half-notes. 

A  small  figure  \  a,  3,  or  4,  placed  before  a  line,  as  in  Sel.  58, 
Ter.  9  and  10,  indicates  that  that  line  is  to  be  sung  to  the,/?;.'f, 
second,  third,  or  fourth  division  of  the  chant. 

Words  ending  in  ed,  in  which  by  common  usage  the  ed  is  not 
pronounced  as  a  distinct  syllable,  as  bowed,  cried,  hoped,  nursed,  &c., 
are  sometimes  found  in  situations  in  which  the  chanting  will  bo 
facilitated  by  making  the  ed  a  separate  syllable;  as  in  Sel.  217, 
ver.  6,  line  2 ;  Sel.  6,  ver.  2,  line  2. 

In  singing  the  words  to  the  chanting  note,  the  utterance,  pronun- 
ciation, accent,  emphasis,  inflection,  pauses,  and  exprenxion,  should 
be  the  same  as  when  reading  very  deliberately  to  an  audience,  only 
more  marked.  In  reading  or  speaking,  unimportant,  unemphatic, 
and  unaccented  words  and  syllables  occupy  much  less  time,  and 
are  uttered  witli  much  less  force,  than  important,  emphatic,  and 
accented  ones;  and  in  singing  the  words  to  the  chanting  note,  the 
same  relative  time,  and  force  of  utterance,  should  not  only  be  care- 
fully maintained,  but  the  force  and  time  of  accented  and  emphatic 
words  and  syllables  should  be  increased,  and  the  unaccented  ami 
unimportant  should  be  passed  over  lightly. 

This  rule  for  singing  the  words  to  the  chantiny  note,  ceases  when 
we  come  to  the  cadence;  for  the  cadence  must  always  "be  given 
in  correct  time,  the  beat  of  which  can  be  felt."  Still,  however,  a» 
much  of  the  expression  and  emphasis  of  good  reading  or  speaking 
should  be  given  to  the  words  of  the  cadence,  as  is  consistent  with 
correct  time. 

If  there  be  a  passing  note  in  the  chanting  measure,  (Chts.  20,  60, 
166,)  the  last  syllable  before  the  dash  is  sung  to  it,  if  it  be  an 
unaccented  syllable ;  but  if  accented  or  important,  it  should  be 
commenced  on  the  chanting  note,  and  then  pass  to  the  quarter  note, 
as  in  Sel.  61,  ver.  1,  line  1,  and  ver.  5,  line  1.  To  do  this  properly 
and  readily  requires  practice  and  careful  attention. 

Some  of  the  most  simple  Selections  for  applying  these  rules  are 
Sel.  1G,  27,  34,  59,  91,  125,  197,  259. 

The  words  which  we  chant  are  taken  from  the  Word  of  the  LOUD, 
who  is  himself  the  Word.  Singing  is  the  expression  of  all'ection, 
and  the  object  in  chanting  is  first  to  feel,  and  then  to  express  the 
proper  affection  which  belongs  to  the  words.  In  chanting  portions 
of  the  Wonl,  therefore,  the  more  we  love  it,  and  the  more  fully  we 
are  filled  with  the  sense  and  feeling  of  its  divinity,  and  of  the  LOUD 
as  flowing  into  us  through  it ;  the  more  fully  shall  we  be  able  to 
express  these  affections,  and  to  heighten  them  in  ourselves  anil 
others;  and  the  better  shall  we  chant. 

Those  Chants  which  consist  of  six  measures,  from  Chant  '218  to 
Chant  248  iiu;lusive,are  coinjKxted  on  the  basis  of  the  ancient  ecch> 
giaatical  modes.

Glad  homage  pay,  with  hallowed  mirth,

2  The  LORD  is  GOD  ;  the  LORD  alone 

Doth  life,  and  breath,  and  being  give . 
We  are  his  work,  and  not  our  own, 
The  sheep  that  on  his  pastures  Kve 

8  Enter  his  gates  with  songs  of  joy, 

With  praises  to  his  courts  repair; 
And  make  it  your  divine  employ, 

To  pay  your  thanks  and  honors  there. 

4  For  he's  the  LORD,  supremely  good  ; 

His  mercy  is  for  ever  sure ; 
His  truth,  which  always  firmly  stood, 
To  endless  ages  shall  endure.

With  love  and  devotion  draw  near. 

2  The  LORD,  he  is  GOD,  and  JKHOVAH,  alone; 

Creator,  and  ruler  o'er  all :

And  we  are  the  work  of  his  hand: 
His  mercy  and  truth  from  eternity  stood, 
And  shall  to  eternity  stand. 

HYMN  3.     L.  M. 

JEHOVAH  reigneth  ;  let  the  paople  tremble  : 

He  sitteth  between  the  cherubims  ;  let  the  earth  be  moved. 

1  BEFORE  JEHOVAH'S  holy  throne, 
Ye  nations,  worship  and  adore  : 
Know  that  the  LORD  is  GOD  alone ; 
He  can  create,  and  he  restore. 

2  His  sovereign  power,  without  our  aid, 
Called  us  to  life,  and  formed  us  men ; 

And  when,  like  wandering  sheep,  we  strayed, 
He  brought  us  to  his  fold  again. 

3  We  are  his  people,  we  his  care ; 
Our  souls,  and  all  our  mortal  frame : 
What  lasting  honors  shall  we  rear, 
O  LORD  our  Maker,  to  thy  name. 

4  We  '11  crowd  thy  gates  with  thankful  songs ; 
High  as  the  heavens  our  voices  raise  : 

And  earth,  with  her  ten  thousand  tongues, 
Shall  fill  thy  courts  with  sounding  praise. 

5  Wide  as  the  world  is  thy  command ; 
Vast  as  eternity  thy  love  : 

Firm  as  a  rock  thy  truth  shall  stand, 
While  rolling  years  unceasing  move. 

HYMN  4.     L.  M. 

Be  ihou  exalted.  O  GOD,  above  the  heavens; 
And  thy  glory  above  all  the  earth. 

1  BE  thou,  O  GOD,  exalted  high; 
And  as  thy  glory  fills  the  sky, 
So  let  it  be  on  earth  displayed, 
Till  thou  art  here,  as  there,  obeyed. 


PRAISE    TO    THE    LORD. 

2  Thy  praises,  LORD,  we  will  resound 
To  all  the  listening  nations  round  : 
Thy  mercy  highest  heaven  transcends ; 
Thy  truth  beyond  the  clouds  extends. 

3  Be  thou,  O  GOD,  exalted  high ; 
And  as  thy  glory  fills  the  sky, 
So  let  it  be  on  earth  displayed, 
Till  thou  art  here,  as  there,  obeyed. 

HYMN  5.     L.  M. 

Give  unto  JEHOVAH  the  glory  due  unto  his  name 

1  GIVE  to  the  LORD  immortal  praise : 
Mercy  and  truth  are  all  his  ways : 
Wonders  of  grace  to  him  belong  : 
Repeat  his  mercies  in  your  song. 

2  He  formed  the  sun  to  cheer  the  ground, 
And  make  its  varied  fruits  abound: 
He  bids  the  clouds,  with  plenteous  rain, 
Refresh  the  thirsty  earth  again. 

3  'Tis  to  his  care  we  owe  our  breath, 
And  all  our  near  escapes  from  death : 
Safety  and  health  to  GOD  belong ; 

He  heals  the  weak,  and  guards  the  strong. 

4  Give  to  the  LORD  of  lords  renown  ; 
The  KING  of  kings  with  glory  crown; 
Who  pours  his  blessings  from  the  skies, 
And  every  needful  gift  supplies. 

HYMN  6.     L.  M. 

O  give  ilmnks  unto  JEHOVAH  ;  for  he  is  good  • 
For  his  mercy  cndureth  forever. 

1  O  RENDER  thanks  to  GOD  above, 
The  Fountain  of  eternal  love  ; 
Whose  mercy,  firm,  through  ages  past, 
Hath  stood,  and  shall  for  ever  last. 

2  Who  can  recount  His  wondrous  deeds, 
Whose  greatness  all  our  thought  exceeds? 
What  mortal  eloquence;  can  raise 

A  tribute  equal  to  his  praise  ? 


THANKSGIVING    AND 

8  Happy  are  they,  and  only  they. 
Who  from  his  precepts  never  stray ; 
Who  know  what 's  right,  nor  only  so, 
But  always  practise  what  they  know. 

HYMN  7.     L.  M. 

0  that  mei.  would  praise  JEHOTAH  for  his  goodness^ 
And  for  his  wonderful  works  to  the  children  of  men. 

1  GIVE  thanks  to  GOD  ;  he  reigns  above  : 
Kind  are  his  thoughts ;  his  name  is  love : 
His  mercy  ages  past  have  known, 

And  ages  long  to  come  shall  own. 

2  He  feeds  and  clothes  us  all  the  way ; 
He  guides  our  footsteps,  lest  we  stray  ; 
He  guards  us  with  a  powerful  hand, 
And  brings  us  to  the  heavenly  land. 

3  Then  let  us  all  with  joy  record 

The  truth  and  goodness  of  the  LORD  : 
How  great  his  works ;  how  kind  his  ways ; 
Let  every  tongue  pronounce  his  praise. 

HYMN  8.     C.  M. 

1  will  sing  unto  JEHOYAH  as  long  as  I  live : 

I  will  sing  praise  unto  my  G»r>,  while  I  have  any  being. 

1  LONG  as  I  live,  I  '11  bless  thy  name» 

My  King,  my  GOD  of  love  ; 
My  work  and  joy  shall  be  the  same, 
In  brighter  worlds  above. 

2  Great  is  the  LORD,  his  power  unknown  ; 

O  let  his  praise  be  great : 
I'll  sing  the  honors  of  thy  throne, 
Thy  works  of  grace  repeat. 

&  Thy  love  shall  dwell  upon  my  tongue ; 

And  while  my  lips  rejoice, 
The  men  who  hear  my  sacred  song, 
Shall  join  their  cheerful  voice. 

4  Fathers  to  sons  shall  tell  thy  name, 

And  children  learn  thy  ways  ; 
Ages  to  come  thy  truth  proclaim, 
And  nations  sound  thy  praise. 


PRAISE   TO   THE   LORD. 

5  The  world  is  governed  by  thy  hand, 

Thy  saints  are  ruled  by  love ; 
Eternal  does  thy  kingdom  stand, 
Though  rocks  and  hills  remove. 

HYMN  9.     C.  P.  M. 

Let  every  thing  that  hath  breath  praise  JAH. 

1  BEGIN,  my  soul,  the  exalted  lay; 
Let  each  enraptured  thought  obey, 

And  praise  the  Almighty's  name: 
Lo,  heaven,  and  earth,  and  seas,  and  skies, 
In  one  melodious  concert  rise, 

To  swell  the  inspiring  theme. 

2  Thou  heaven  of  heavens,  his  vast  abode, 
Ye  clouds,  proclaim  your  maker,  GOD  ; 

Ye  thunders,  speak  his  power : 
Lo,  on  the  lightning's  fiery  wing, 
In  triumph,  walks  the  eternal  King ; 

The  astonished  worlds  adore. 

3  Ye  deeps,  with  roaring  billows  rise, 
To  join  the  thunders  of  the  skies  ; 

Praise  him  who  bids  you  roll : 
His  praise  in  softer  notes  declare, 
Each  whispering  breeze  of  yielding  air, 

And  breathe  it  to  the  soul. 

4  Wake,  all  ye  soaring  throngs,  and  sing ; 
Ye  feathered  warblers  of  the  spring, 

Harmonious  anthems  raise 
To  him,  who  shaped  your  liner  mould, 
Who  tipped  your  glittering  wings  with  gold, 

And  tuned  your  voice  to  praise. 

5  Let  man,  by  nobler  passions  swayed, 
Let  man,  in  GOD'S  own  image  made, 

His  breath  in  praise  employ  ; 
Spread  wide  his  Maker's  name  around, 
Till  heaven  shall  echo  back  the  sound, 

In  songs  of  holy  joy.

With  oil  the  blue  ethereal  sky, 


10  CONFIDENCE    IN    THE    LORD. 

And  spangled  heavens,  a  shining  frame, 
Their  great  Original  proclaim. 

2  The  unwearied  sun,  from  day  tc  day, 
Does  his  Creator's  power  display, 
And  publishes  to  every  land 

The  work  of  an  almighty  hand. 

3  Soon  as  the  evening  shades  prevail, 
The  moon  takes  up  the  wondrous  tale, 
And  nightly,  to  the  listening  earth, 
Repeats  the  story  of  her  birth. 

4  While  all  the  stars  that  round  her  burn, 
And  all  the  planets  in  their  turn, 
Confirm  the  tidings,  as  they  roll, 

And  spread  the  truth  from  pole  to  pole, 

5  What  though,  in  solemn  silence,  all 
Move  round  this  dark  terrestrial  ball  ? 
What  though  no  real  voice,  nor  sound, 
Amid  their  radiant  orbs  be  found  ? 

6  In  reason's  ear  they  all  rejoice, 
And  utter  forth  a  glorious  voice ; 
For  ever  singing,  as  they  shine, 

"  The  hand  that  made  us  is  divine." 

HYMN  11.     L.  M. 

His  name  shall  endure  forever  : 

His  name  shall  be  continued  as  long  as  the  sun. 

1  FROM  all  that  dwell  below  the  skies, 
Let  the  Creator's  praise  arise : 

Let  the  Redeemer's  name  be  sung, 
Through  every  land,  by  every  tongue. 

2  Eternal  are  thy  mercies,  LORD  ; 
Eternal  truth  dwells  in  thy  word  : 

Thy  praise  shall  sound  from  shore  to  shore, 
Till  suns  shall  rise  and  set  no  more.

When  storms  of  sharp  distress  invade ; 


CONFIDENCE    LN    THE    LORD.  11 

Ere  we  can  offer  our  complaints, 
Behold  him  present  with  his  aid. 

2  Loud  may  the  troubled  ocean  roar ; 

In  sacred  peace  our  souls  abide  ; 
"While  every  nation,  every  shore, 

Trembles,  and  dreads  the  swelling  tide. 

3  There  is  a  stream,  whose  gentle  flow 

Supplies  the  city  of  our  GOD  : 
Life,  love,  and  joy  still  gliding  through, 
And  watering  our  divine  abode. 

4  That  sacred  stream,  thine  holy  Word, 

Supports  our  faith,  our  fear  controls : 
Sweet  peace  thy  promises  afford, 

And  give  new  strength  to  fainting  souls. 

5  Zion  enjoys  her  SAVIOR'S  love, 

Secure  against  a  threatening  hour ; 
Nor  can  her  firm  foundation  move, 

Built  on  his  truth,  and  armed  with  power. 

HYMN  13.     C.  M. 

Rest  in  JEHOVAH,  and  wait  patiently  for  him. 

1  GOD  moves  in  a  mysterious  way 

His  wonders  to  perform  ; 
He  plants  his  footsteps  on  the  sea, 
And  rides  upon  the  storm. 

2  Deep  in  unfathomable  mines 

Of  never-failing  skill. 
He  treasures  up  his  bright  designs, 
And  works  his  gracious  will. 

3  Ye  fearful  souls,  fresh  courage  take 

The  clouds  you  so  much  dread, 
Are  big  with  mercy,  and  shall  break 
In  blessings  on  your  head. 

1  Judge  not  the  LORD  by  feeble  sense, 

But  trust  his  constant  grace  : 
Behind  a  frowning  providence 
He  hides  a  smiling  face. 

6  His  purposes  will  ripen  fast, 
Unfolding  every  hour; 


12  CONFIDENCE    IN    THE    LORD. 

The  bud  may  have  a  bitter  taste, 
But  sweet  will  be  the  flower. 

6  Blind  unbelief  is  sure  to  err, 

And  scan  his  work  in  vain : 
GOD  is  his  own  interpreter, 
And  he  will  make  it  plain.

Thy  people  dwell  secure  ; 
Sufficient  is  thine  arm  alone, 
And  our  defence  is  sure.

Or  earth  received  her  frame, 
From  everlasting  thou  art  GOD, 
To  endless  years  the  same.

Through  this  dark  wilderness  ; 
Thine  hand  conduct  me  near  thy  seat, 
To  dwell  before  thy  face.

JEHOVAH  is  my  Shepherd,  I  shall  not  want. 

1  THE  LORD  my  Shepherd  is  ; 

I  shall  be  well  supplied : 
Since  he  is  mine,  and  I  am  his, 
What  can  I  want  beside  ? 

2  He  leads  me  to  the  place 

Where  heavenly  pasture  grows, 
Where  living  waters  gently  pass, 
And  full  salvation  flows. 

3  If  e'er  I  go  astray, 

He  doth  my  soul  reclaim, 
And  guides  me,  in  his  own  right  way, 
For  his  most  holy  name. 

4  While  he  affords  his  aid, 

I  cannot  yield  to  fear ; 

Though  I  should  walk  through  death's  dark  shade, 
My  Shepherd  's  with  me  there. 

HYMN  17.     L.  M.     6  lines. 

He  maketh  me  to  lie  down  in  green  pastures : 
He  leadeth  me  beside  the  still  waters. 

1  THE  LORD  my  pasture  shall  prepare. 
And  feed  me  with  a  Shepherd's  care  ; 
His  presence  shall  my  wants  supply, 
And  guard  me  with  a  watchful  eye : 
My  noon-day  walks  he  shall  attend, 
And  all  my  midnight  hours  defend. 

2  When  in  the  sultry  glebe  I  faint, 
Or  on  the  thirsty  mountain  pant, 
To  fertile  vales,  and  dewy  meads 
My  weary,  wandering  steps  he  leads ; 
Where  peaceful  rivers,  soft  and  slow, 
Amid  the  verdant  landscape  flow. 

8  Though  in  the  paths  of  death  I  tread, 
With  gloomy  horrors  overspread, 
My  steadfast  heart  shall  fear  no  ill, 
For  thou,  O  LORD,  art  with  me  still : 
Thy  friendly  rod  shall  give  me  aid, 
And  guide  me  through  the  dreadful  shade.

So  much  of  GOD  before.

Make  music  on  the  air.

Send  back  the  glad  reply  ; 
And  greet,  from  all  their  sacred  heights, 
The  day-spring  from  on  high.

There  comes  a  holier  calm ;

Her  silent  groves  of  palm.

O  LORD,  forgive  my  secret  faults, 

And  from  presumptuous  sins  restrain :

Nor  covetous  desires,  arise 
Within  this  soul  of  mine.

And  make  my  heart  sincere ; 
Let  sin  have  no  dominion,  LORD,

Thine  eye  commands,  with  piercing  view, 

My  rising  and  my  resting  hours, 
My  inmost  heart,  and  all  my  powers. 

2  My  thoughts,  before  they  are  my  own, 
Are  to  the  LORD  distinctly  known  : 
He  knows  the  words  I  mean  to  speak, 
Ere  from  my  opening  lips  they  break. 

3  Within  thy  circling  power  I  stand ; 
On  every  side  I  find  thy  hand  ; 
Awake,  asleep,  at  home,  abroad, 
Still  present  with  me  is  my  GOD. 

4  O  may  these  thoughts  possess  my  breast, 
Where'er  I  rove,  where'er  I  rest ! 

Nor  let  my  weaker  passions  dare 
Consent  to  sin,  for  GOD  is  there. 

HYMN  53.     G.  M. 

For  there  is  not  a  word  in  my  tongue, 

But  lo.  O  JKHOVAH,  thou  knowesi  it  altogether. 

1  IN  all  my  vast  concerns  with  thee, 

In  vain  my  soul  would  try 
To  shun  thy  presence,  LORD,  or  flee 
The  notice  of  thine  eye. 

2  Thine  all-surrounding  sight  surveys 

My  rising  and  my  rest, 
My  public  walks,  my  private  ways, 
And  secrets  of  my  breast. 

3  My  thoughts  lie  open  to  the  LORD, 

Before  they  're  formed  within  ; 
And  ere  my  lips  pronounce  the  word, 
He  knows  the  sense  I  mean. 

4  O,  wondrous  knowledge,  deep  and  high  I 

Where  can  a  creature  hide?

Within  thy  circling  arms  I  lie, 
Enclosed  on  every  side.

And  like  a  bulwark  prove, 

To  guard  my  soul  from  every  ill, 

Secured  by  sovereign  love. 

HYMN  54.     L.  M. 

The  darkness  and  the  light  are  both  alike  to  thee.

The  darkness  shineth  as  the  light, 
Search,  prove  my  heart ;  it  pants  for  thee : 
O  burst  these  bonds,  and  set  it  free. 

2  While  in  this  darksome  wild  I  stray, 
Be  thou  my  light,  be  thou  my  way : 
No  foes,  no  violence,  I  fear ; 

No  harm,  if  thou,  0  LORD,  art  near. 

3  When  rising  floods  my  soul  o'erflow, 
When  sinks  my  heart  in  waves  of  woe, 
O  LORD,  thy  timely  aid  impart, 

And  raise  my  head,  and  cheer  my  heart. 

4  If  rough  and  thorny  be  the  way, 
My  strength  proportion  to  my  day ; 
Till  toil,  and  grief,  and  paiii,  shall  cease, 
Where  all  is  calm,  and  joy,  and  peace.

And  all  my  wants  redressed, 
When  in  the  silent  womb  I  lay, 
Or  hung  upon  the  breast. 

8  Unnumbered  comforts  on  my  soul 

Thy  tender  care  bestowed, 
Before  my  infant  heart  conceived 
From  whom  those  comforts  flowed.

Nor  sin,  nor  death  shall  reach  the  place ; 
No  groans  shall  mingle  with  the  songs, 
Which  warble  from  immortal  tongues. 

3  No  rude  alarms  of  raging  foes ; 
No  cares  to  break  the  long  repose ; 
No  midnight  shade,  no  clouded  sun ; 
But  sacred,  high,  eternal  noon. 

4  Thine  earthly  Sabbaths,  LORD,  we  love; 
But  there  's  a  nobler  rest  above : 

To  that  our  longing  souls  aspire, 
With  cheerful  hope,  and  strong  desire.

Shield  him  from  sin  and  threatening  wrong, 
And  let  thy  love  his  life  prolong. 

2  O,  may  thy  spirit  gently  draw 
His  willing  soul  to  keep  thy  law : 
May  virtue,  piety,  and  truth 
Dawn  even  with  his  dawning  youth. 

3  Grant  that,  with  true  and  faithful  heart, 
We,  too,  may  act  the  Christian's  part ; 
Cheered  by  each  promise  thou  hast  given, 
And  striving  for  the  life  of  heaven.

Whence  the  living  waters  flow ; 
Let  the  fiery,  cloudy  pillar 

Guide  me  all  my  journey  through : 

Strong  Deliverer, 
Be  thou  still  my  Strength  and  Shield.

Bid  my  anxious  fears  subside  ; 
Bear  me  through  the  swelling  current  5 

Land  me  safe  on  Canaan's  side : 

Songs  of  praises 
I  will  ever  give  to  thee.

MARRIAGE.

Our  hearts  and  hands  we  join ;

Of  sorrow,  pain,  and  fear, 
When  Heaven's  wise  discipline  doth  make 
Our  earthly  journey  drear. 


CONFIRMATION.  37

THE    WORLD    TO    COME. 

lu  my  FATHER'S  house  are  many  mansioua 

1  THERE  is  a  land  of  pure  delight, 

Where  saints  immortal  reign  ; 
Eternal  day  excludes  the  night, 
And  pleasures  banish  pain. 

2  There  everlasting  spring  abides, 

And  never-withering  flowers : 
Death,  like  a  narrow  sea,  divides 
That  heavenly  land  from  ours. 

8  Sweet  fields,  beyond  the  swelling  flood, 

Stand  drest  in  living  green ; 
So  to  the  Jews  their  Canaan  stood, 
While  Jordan  rolled  between. 

4  But  timorous  mortals  start,  and  shrink 

To  cross  this  narrow  sea ; 
And  linger,  shivering  on  the  brink; 
And  fear  to  launch  away. 

5  O  could  we  climb  where  Moses  stood, 

And  view  the  landscape  o'er, 
Not  Jordan's  stream,  nor  death's  cold  flood, 
Should  fright  us  from  the  shore. 


HYMN  78.     C.  M. 

In  thy  presence  is  fulness  of  joy : 

At  ihy  right  hand  are  pleasures  for  evermore

Supremely  good  and  wise, 
To  thee  we  bring  our  grateful  vows ; 
Accept  our  sacrifice. 

2  Our  dark  and  erring  minds  illume 

With  truth's  celestial  rays  : 
Inspire  our  hearts  with  heavenly  love, 
And  tune  our  lips  to  praise. 

8  Safely  conduct  us,  by  thy  truth, 

Through  life's  perplexing  road  ; 
And  bring  us,  when  our  journey's  o'er, 
LORD,  to  thine  own  abode.

To  Canaan's  fair  and  happy  land, 
Where  my  possessions  lie.

That  ri>es  to  my  sight ! 
Sweet  fields  arrayed  in  living  green, 
And  rivers  of  delight. 

3  No  chilling  winds,  nor  poisonous  breath, 

Can  reach  that  healthful  shore ; 
Sickness  and  sorrow,  pain  and  death, 
Are  felt  and  feared  no  more. 

4  When  shall  I  reach  that  happy  place. 

And  be  forever  blest  ? 
When  shall  I  see  my  Father's  face, 
And  in  his  mansions  rest?

Far  beyond  our  feeble  sight, 
Happy  in  IMMANUEL'S  love. 

2  Pilgrims  in  this  vale  of  tears, 

Once  they  knew,  like  us  below, 
Gloomy  doubts,  distressing  fears, 
Torturing  pain,  and  heavy  woe. 

8  Happy  spirits,  ye  are  fled 

Where  no  grief  can  entrance  find ; 
Lulled  to  rest  the  aching  head, 
Soothed  the  anguish  of  the  mind.

The  appointed  duties  of  the  day ; 
With  ready  mind  and  active  will 

March  on,  and  keep  my  heavenly  way.

Enlightening  our  beclouded  eyes ; 

Thy  judgments  just,  thy  promise  sure; 

Thy  gospel  makes  the  simple  wise. 

4  Give  me  thy  counsels  for  my  guide, 
And  then  receive  me  to  thy  bliss ; 
All  my  desires  and  hopes  beside 

Are  faint  and  cold  compared  with  this.

To  praise  thy  name,  give  thanks,  and  sing, 
To  show  thy  love  by  morning  light, 

And  talk  of  all  thy  truth  at  night. 

2  My  heart  shall  triumph  in  my  LORD, 
And  bless  his  works,  and  bless  his  word: 
Thy  works  of  grace,  how  bright  they  shine  I 
How  deep  thy  counsels,  how  divine ! 

8  Soon  shall  I  see,  and  hear,  and  know 
All  I  desired,  or  wished  below  ;

Great  Guardian  of  my  sleeping  hours ; 
Thy  sovereign  word  restores  the  light, 
And  quickens  all  my  drowsy  powers.

Bring  thy  salvation  nigh.

And  walk  the  heavenly  road :

Whose  goodness  crowns  the  circling  year. 

2  Wide  as  the  wheels  of  nature  roll, 

Thy  hand  supports  and  guides  the  whole  : 
The  sun  is  taught  by  thee  to  rise, 
And  darkness  when  to  vail  the  skies. 

3  Seasons  and  months,  and  weeks  and  days, 
Demand  successive  songs  of  praise :

Prayer  the  sublimest  strains  that  reach 
The  Majesty  on  high. 

2  Prayer  is  the  contrite  sinner's  voice, 

Returning  from  his  ways  ; 
While  angels  in  their  songs  rejoice, 
And  cry,  "  Behold,  he  prays  ! " 

3  Prayer  is  the  Christian's  vital  breath, 

The  Christian's  native  air, 
The  watchword  at  the  gates  of  death ; 
He  enters  heaven  with  prayer.

DEDICATION    OF   A   TEMPLE. 

Whose  secret  heart,  with  influence  sweet, 
Is  upward  drawn  to  GOD. 

8  By  cool  Siloam's  shady  rill 

The  lily  must  decay  ; 
The  rose,  that  blooms  beneath  the  hill, 
Must  shortly  fade  away. 

4  And  soon,  too  soon,  the  wintry  hour 

Of  man's  maturer  age 
Will  shake  the  soul  with  sorrow's  power 
And  stormy  passion's  rage. 

6  O  Thou,  who  givest  life  and  breath, 

We  seek  thy  grace  alone, 
In  childhood,  manhood,  age,  and  death, 
To  keep  us  still  thine  own.

In  human  form,  with  youthful  bloom, 
Safe  from  diseases  and  decline.
